Bété People
The Bété are an Ivory Coast group with strong cultural and artistic links to the Dan, the We ( Gwere) and the Guro, among others. The Bete together with many other ethnolinguistic groups makeup the Kru ethnic group. There are 93 distinct groups within the Bété polity. Culture They are only united in that they are subsistence farmers, but base most of their culture around hunting. Social control was exercised by the leading member of individual lineages (several in each village) who exercises judicial and financial power within the community. Bété are known for their focus on individual rights. A male "chief" is chosen by the people based on the criterion of wisdom. This leader stays in power until his death or any wrongdoing. Bete women are known for being outspoken. Religion Historically, spiritual authority was wielded with an array of paraphernalia, notably including the “gre” mask, a horned and decorated creation (originating with the We) designed to instil ...

Bété Syllabary
The Bété syllabary was created for the Bété language of Ivory Coast (in West Africa) in the 1950s by artist Frédéric Bruly Bouabré. It consists of about 440 pictographic characters, which represent scenes from life and stand for syllables in Bété. Bouabré created it to help Bété people learn to read in their language.

There was no writing system for Bété before this one; all education is in French. There are five main dialects of Bété. Syllabaries are generally used for languages with simple rules of syllabic combination; English, for example, would not work well for a syllabary because there are over ten-thousand different possibilities for individual syllables.

La Bête (play)
''La Bête'' (1991) is a comedy by American playwright, David Hirson. Written in rhymed couplets of iambic pentameter, the Molière-inspired story, set in 17th-century France, pits dignified, stuffy Elomire, the head of the royal court-sponsored theatre troupe, against the foppish, frivolous street entertainer Valere, whom the troupe's patron, Prince Conti, wishes them to bring aboard. Despite Elomire's violent objections, the company is forced to perform one of Valere's own plays, which results in dramatic changes to the future of Elomire, Valere, and the company itself. Performance history Following 15 previews, the Broadway production, produced by Stuart Ostrow and Andrew Lloyd Webber and directed by Richard Jones, opened on February 10, 1991 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where it ran for only 25 performances.

La Bête (film)
''The Beast'' (french: La Bête) is a 1975 French erotic film, erotic horror film written, edited, and directed by Walerian Borowczyk. Although sometimes compared with ''Beauty and the Beast'', there are no parallels in the plot except that it features the relationship between a beast (monster) and a woman. The film was noted for its explicit sexual content upon its initial release. It has become a cult film. A loose adaptation of the novella ''Lokis (novella), Lokis'' by Prosper Mérimée was originally conceived in 1972 as a film on its own. However, Borowczyk later rendered ''Lokis'' as a story (''La véritable histoire de la bête du Gévaudan'') in ''Immoral Tales (film), Immoral Tales'' (1974), which was envisaged to be a film of six stories. After ''Immoral Tales'' was remastered as a film of four stories, the footage became the dream sequence of ''The Beast''.

Bête
Bête, la Bête (french: Jeu de la Bête), Beste or la Beste (''Jeu de la Beste''), originally known as Homme or l'Homme (''Jeu de l'Homme''), was an old, French, trick-taking card game, usually for three to five players. It was a derivative of Triomphe created by introducing the concept of bidding. Its earlier name gives away its descent from the 16th-century Spanish game of Ombre. J > A > 10 > 9 > 8 > (7) > (6). Dealing Deal and play are anticlockwise. The first dealer is chosen by lot. The pack is placed face down and players take the top card in turn, the player drawing the first King or other nominated card dealing first.
