In her autobiography Oil Paint and Grease Paint, published 1936, Laura Knight wrote of a visit to Paris

We went to the Folies Bergères whenever possible. I never did so much work in any theatre in such a short time, and the audience was so strongly marked in character in comparison with that of any English Theatre. I painted several pictures and did two or three etchings from the notes. It was hateful leaving Paris when the time came for us to go.
