Pauline Lucca, by her assumption Of the part

has helped the work to achieve q splendid sue
cess, sucn as IL has not had here for a long time.
With It's new cast it will probably occupy more
permanent place IN the repertory than has hitherto
been the case The original talent OF the tar and
celebrated artist has, III her impersonation Of Carlo
Broschi, as Of every other character, enabled her
to hit on what was right. With admirable
good taste thanks to which she has already sue
ceeded SO brilliantly as Angela In "Le Domino
Nor." she has made this fresh creation her
own, and Just what French comic opera re-
quires. With fluent facility she gave the
melodious music to the best advantage. Her De.
livery OF the frequently recurring song charmed
every one by its fervOr; the technical execution
was brilliant and tie acting enhancing by Its
ceverness and grace The appearance, too, OF the
lady was calculated to captivate the public and an
enthusiastic reception was not wanting. Every
single number of the part was greeted with tImu-
tuOus applause. In the second act Madame Lucca,
with admirable readiness. compiled with the de-
mand for an encore; and at the conclusion OF each
act, there were repeated calls for her.
