H. lee THE STORY
is interesting, and We briefly give the argu-
ment that the opera may be better appreciated.
Clairette Angot MRS. Oates is young mar
ket girl, considerably given to the frivolties of
the world, and the reputed child of the de-
ceased Madame Angot, but there is an unex-
planned mystery about her birth. Scandal says
she is the one thousandth child of the Turkish
Sultan-one of a very numerous family. Clair
ette tells the story Of her supposed birth in
her opening song with "Innocence and Candor
too" and the action of the play commences
with the bridal day of Clairette and the Court
barber Pomponet John Howson) The fes-
tivfties are suddenly interrupted by the arrival
of Ange Pitou &c. H. Drew, a handsome young
poet who has just escaped from prison and
who loves and is loved by Clairette. In order
to escape the marriage with PompOnet and to
devise some means to accept the hand of the
poet. Clairette postpones the wedding. Pitou
has written revolutionary song, lampooning
the Directory of Paris. but is threatened with
Imprisonment if it is sung, and finally agrees
to change its tone, to one of laudation, for
$50, 600 francs. He accepts the money, SO that
he can marry Clairette, but does not change
the song. In ignorance OF the bargain, Clair
etts sings the song in the streets of Paris and
If arrested and thrown into prison, amid the
execrations of the market women and the lam

is rel ased from prison and again meets Pitou,
with whom Mile Lange has fallen in love
Pitou is q firt of the first water, playing fast
of the wealthy Lanse forgets his love for the
child Of the market. At this juncture Pompo-
net (pom-po-nayl calls to dress the hair of
Mile LANCE and finds Clairette, his afianced
wife. To get rid of him Clairette causes him
to be searched for the revolutionary verses
They are found, and poor Pomponet takes Pr
tous place in prison. Lange's apartments are
headquarters for the, conspirators, aud shortly
after the scene above the police invade its
amourOus precincts to make arrests. They
are foiled by the LANCE, who transforms the
nest of the conspirators into beautiful ball
dance. Pomponet escapes from prison, meets
Larivaudiere Harry Allen, the agent of the
Directory, accuses him of locking him up, and
they quarrel The whole party then get to-
gether at q grand ball third act), where a
scandalous scene occurs between the four
lovers. Clairette accuses Mile LANCE of steal
ing her lover, and the latter retorts after the
same fashion. Pomponet, the stupid fellow,
notwithstanding all the jilting he has received
still loves Clairette. and at the final she gives
him her hand. Pitou and Mile LANCE are f.
nally n,arried-and all are happy. The music
of the piece comprises twenty-four solos, du-
etts, trios, quintettes and choruses, among
which are many exquisite musical gems-and
few brighter than "She's SO Innocent" solo
by the dashing but naughty Pitou. Go.
