OPENING OF THE ENGLISH
THEATRE at PARIS.
The first performance of the English dramatic com-
pany, fur whose representation this play-going capital
is indebted to the enterprising spirit of Mr. Mitchell,
took place on Monday night, at the Theatre Ventadour,
or Les Italiens, as it is called, since the harmonious
troupe, which boasts Grisi, Persiani, Lablache, Mario,
Fornasari, &c., has again migrated to that elegant house.
For the debut of our countrymen Othello was judiciously
selected, it being, probably, of all Shakspeare's trage-
dies, that which our neighbours are best acquainted with.
The first of the twelve nights which Mr. Mitchell has
announced has proved quite successful. When the
curtain rose at about eight o'clock, the aspeet
of the house was already promising, and the
play had made but little progress when almost
all the boxes were occupied by most distingue
company, who would, no doubt have been more
numerous still, had it not been for the receptions pros
seeding, at the Palace of the Tuileries, on the occasion of
the marriage of his Royal highness the Duke D'Aumale.
The audience comprised a large proportion of English
and other foreign spectators, and the toilettes exhibited
all the elegance observable at the Ventadour Theatre,
when its stage is devoted to the execution of the lyrical
productions of Italy. The reception given to Mr.
Macready and Miss Faucit at once dispelled the appre-
hensions of such few as fancied that the rancour against
their country, which party feeling has for some years
past so zealously and perseveringly striven to kindle in
France, might attempt to mar the exertions of those
eminent artists. Bath were received with general and
cordial plaudits, and their countrymen in the pit and
boxes had not a single hostile manifestation to resent or
to despise ; in short, our iniquities in the Medi.
terranean, in the Pacific, and, indeed, where-
ever, salt water exists, seemed to be generously and
hospitably forgotten, together with the ascendancy we
have not in Spain, and care not to have at Otaheite.
Even the " right of visit" made room for that admira-
tion which Shakespeare's language has to command
when uttered by Mr. Macready to a people that appre •
ciate the sublime and beautiful so readily as the French.
It is unnecessary to dwell here on the merits of the per-
formances, suffice it to say that the whole went off ad-
mirably. Mr. Mitchell, with his wonted good taste, has
issued to his visitors an elegantly printed playbook, with
a French translation corresponding to the text, and when
Othello and Desdemona's miseries were over, there was
as numerous a display of carriages at his doors as the
municipal guard can have to govern at the premieres re-
preseetitions of the most fashionable theatres of this
drama-loving capital.
