[4] Their son (Olivier Guimond Jr.) accompanied them on their tours until the age of seven (1921); they then sent him to boarding school at Mont-Saint-Louis in Ahunstic, Montreal.

Several stars participated in the shows and tours of his troupe, including Rose Ouellette, known as La Poune, Manda Parent, Paul Desmarteaux, and the wife of Olivier Guimond Sr., dancer Effie MacDonald.

Burlesque — a genre composed mainly of humorous monologues and improvised sketches in which stripping is excluded — dominated the Montreal stage from the 1920s to the 1950s before television eclipsed it.

[6] Indeed, in the early 1920s, Olivier Guimond had a major influence on Rose Ouellette's career, even going so far as to give her her stage name, "La Poune".

According to Juliette Petrie and Jean Grimaldi,[3] Olivier Guimond Sr. was and remains the greatest comic in the history of Canadian burlesque.

Guimond died of cancer in Montreal on October 9, 1954, at the age of 61, at the Royal Victoria Hospital, after a year of illness.
