FRENCH FLATs.-This comedy-that is to be
played here next weeks an adaptation from
Union Square theater, New York, by Mr.. A. r.
CaZauran. 1t was originally produced in Paris
under the title lies Locataires de M. Blon-
deau," and many of our summer tourists on
their return to this country reported the extra
ordinary popularity it achieved there. And
surely its humor and amusing incidents won
equal favor with the New York public. The
play is cast worthy of its repute, and has GER
tainly duplicated the succeSSit had in Paris. 1t
is purely farcical comedy, and the livelineSS of
its fun so utterly free from the slightest impro-
priety, joined to the fact that this company pos
seSSes the comedians Singularly fitted to the
requirements of its cast is the cause Of its great
success at the Union Square theater, where it
held the boards for over. three months contin-
r1lly and the nightly receipts exceeded the
