HISTORIC FIRST NIGHTS.
Red Letter Events In tho Dramatic
History of France.

He'd Letter Events In tho Dramatic
History of France.
Perhaps the most striking events n
the artistic history Of France have
been the first performances Of some
Of the great French plays. In q few
cases also these occasions have mark
ed the beginning OF new epochs in the
social history OF the country. so close
is the connection between the social
development of the people and its ex-
preston on the stage. Unless l am
mistaken, there have been but six IN
forgettabie first nights since theaterS
We're established In Paris.
The first occurred in 1887. when. Cor
neille's "Cid" took the capital by storm.
Forty years later Racines "Androm-
ache" created a similar sensation.
On the eve Of the revolution. in 1854.
Beaumarchais' Marriage OF Figaro"
was received with such delirfous en-
thusiasm that three people were sti-
fed In the rush for seats. In 1880
Victor Hugo. In spite orethe determin-
ed opposition of large body OF reac-
tionaries, set all Paris in an uproar
with his "Hernai."
These names should be borne in
mind: Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchais
and Victor Hugo. Three Of them at
least have no superIors in the history
Of French literature. Each has one
amazing dramatic triumph to his cred
it The other two Of the six great
first nights were the 2Sth OF Deem

1910 The occasions were respective
ly the performances of "Cyrano de
