The experiment Of producing Amcri-

profitable. At the Olympia "The Belle

run OF nine months. and "The Prince Of

The managers Of Olympia are deter
mined to make the French version as
nearly as possible like the Broadway
production. With this end In view they
have induced Col. Savage to send them
eight Of his representative chorus girls
The latter arrived this week and cccupi'

attracted almost as much attention as
the play itself. With such fair pros
poets, the Partisan Johnny is preparing
