...youth. Her acting is a nightly surprise, and her singing is worthy of serious opera. Her Clairette, Duchesse, and Boulotte are marked by a cleverness and finish which many more serious impersonations lack; in the last two roles, she has all the traditions of the diva Schneider. M. Capoul sings and acts like the perfect artist he is, - excellent as the lover Ange Pitou, Marasquin, or Piquillo, and equally so, in a widely different part, Falsanappa, the chief of brigands. Mlle.

Mine. Nilsson, Miss Cary, and Capoul have appeared in their familiar characters in "Faust," "Trovatore," "Martha," and other well-worn operas; and there have been three debuts of interest, - those of Mlle. Torriani and Sig. Campanini and M. Maurel. Mine. Nilsson's "indisposition" last week was unfortunate; but the less so as it gave an opportunity of making better...
