FRENCH PLAYS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. A
comedic v iadeville, new to this country, entitled " Vesiris
Premier," was produced here yesterday evening, with com-
plete success. It is the last novelty of the season. The little
plot of " Vestris Pre kir" is amply that of an affront offered
by an insolent Duke to Apollino Vestris, who contrives,
by a little' use, to make the peer give bins that satisfaction
aeries a direct challenge had wholly failed to effect. M. Levu
or's impersonation of the dieu de la dense is one of the moat
perfect pliers of comedy we ever witnessed; it is a thorough
resuscitation of the man who said, and with entire convic-
tion licit. via, that there were only three great men in the
world—Voltaire, the King of rfl/15111, and Apollino Vestris.
The representatkii is perfect in form, feature, gesture, and
voice, the latter being a ludicrous imitation of what we ma)
presume to have been Vestrib's indifferent Francisation of
indifferent Italian. Iddlle. Scrivaiirck Imki.d the vic,,
