NEW THEATRES IN PARIS.
The beautiful little theatre which has Just been
constr nc ted In tho Rue TaltbOut was inaugurated
this week by the performance OF three prize
operottas, the experimental entertainments pre-
viously given in the Sale having been confined TO
concerts. This establishment seems destined to q
prosperous career as IL is situated In the centre
OF ricn and populous quarter, whore IL mas but

mansions, Is model OF elegance and comfort the
ventilation being perfect, and the spac allotted
