A THEATRICAL MUSEUM.


Treasures OF the Property Room OF
the Theatre Francois.
Great passions will ever carry it over
great upholstery If you give them their
chance To this day the only setting
of the chief scene of la Malade Ina
ginaire" at the Francois is an arm
chair. It is carried on by q couple of
lackeys, as though 1t had just been re-
moved from furniture van. and Is
planted right in the middle of the
stage That chair is the very one In
which Moliere. playing the part Of Ar
gan in his own piece, suffered the first
shock of the illness that carried him
of. 1t is but one Of the tseasures of a
house that is a perfect museum not
only Of historic properties, but of the
whole art of the stage.
In the greenroom, as M. Delorme, its
historian, has told us, in the committee
room, in the office Of the administra-
tor, in the archives, in every part of
the theater to which the public has NO
access, there is a prodigious mass Of
full length portraits, Of medallions, Of
genre pictures, Of engravings, draw
ings, marbles, bronzes, of statuettes.
These, with the works exhibited in the
public rooms, form a unique collection
whereof every piece belongs in some
sort to the history of the house Of Mo-
liePe.
The museum of accessories is as rich
in its way as the museum of painting
and statuary. Here we may find the
mandolin used in 1.-THE Barber of Sc
ville." an instrument Of rare beauty
Of form. purity of tone and antiquity
of make. Here. too. is the original gull
tar of 1.-THE Marriage of Figaro" When
the piece came CIT in 1854 the man.
agement thought it was so sure to fail
that it was not worth while to buy
guitar for the hero. An instrument
was accordingly hired at 10 francs a
night. The piece ran for fifty nights
a tremendous success for that period
and in the excitement of this sur
prise the conditions ON which the gull
tar had been obtained were totally for
gotten until the owner presented his
bill for 500 francs.-Richard Whiteing
