A comedy in -four acts. Reyoltee.p by
NJ. Jules Lemaitre, dramatic critic of the
Journal des Debats, produced recently AT
the Odeon Theater, has met with the HIGH
est favor. 1t is society play of great
literary merit, and ranking far above the
general run of theatrical works.
Jules Lemaitre, the dramatic critic of
the Journal des Debats, Paris, is the ex-
ception which proves the rule that
dramatic critics cannot write plays. He
has produced, at the Odeon, "A drama, called

The latest news from the group of
American girls now studying singing in
Paris, is the engagement by Carl Rosa of
Miss Schuyler, of New York, pupil of
Nine. Marchesi's. The young lady pos
sesses, it is said, a phenomenal voice, a
dramatic soprano of great strength and
volume. She has adopted the stage name
of Scala, and will make her debut in
London during the coming season.
1t is interesting to notice how an artist
can play part SO well as to interest nearly
everyone in the same profession as the
character represented on the stage. For
several weeks the Gotham newspapers
have had great deal to say about the
charming manner in which Miss Isabelle
Coe plays the Schoolma'am in " A Mid
night Bel" and as a consequence the
theater is filled with teachers during
the evening and school children at
the matinees. Miss Goes kind
hearted creation has evidently become
model that the teachers will try to initiate,
and if they do Mr.. Hoyts play will be
blessing for the many thousand children as
well as for the teachers. No child would
be likely to play "hookey' if they had to
face so pleasant teacher as Miss Coe.
During his recent stay in Constantine
pie the Italian tragedian Ernesto Rossi
acted twice before the Sultan-once in
"Othello" and once in sullivan" The
theater at the harem is described as small,
but tastefully decorated, and is lighted by
electricity. The ladies of the harem were
in boxes, but were hidden from the public
gaze by gilt cross-bars. The stalls were
occupied by Court dignitaries. The en-
trance to the theater was guarded by
police agents, armed with sticks and re-
| volvers. The actors were driven to and
from the theater in closed carriages, and
were accompanied by police escort. The
Sultan was much pleased with both per-
formances, and presented Signor Rossi with
the Order of the Osmanie, besides hand
some gratuity.
A correspondent of the Belgian Guide
Musical tells of an interesting meeting
with Theresa Milanollo, the famous vio-
linist, who forty years ago enchanted the
entire musical world even more than Tere-
sina Tua has done in our own day. Since
her marriage with NJ Parmentier she has
kept so completely out of public life that
even the information that she is alive will
come as a surprise to many. The corre-
spondent relates that Nine. Parmentier
has recently been staying in Brussels,
where few intimate friends were privi-
legged to hear her play, and further states
that she gave, in way to recall her great
est triumphs, Bach's Chaconne, a fragment
of one of De Boriot's concertos, a rev.
erie by Schumann, and the Lamento,
written by herself in memory of her sis
ter Maria.
