,) THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1869. 5 t MUSICAL A?(D DUAJIITIC. "Im Vie PnrUlrnn." It is evident tbat Messieurs Mellhac and Halevy are famUiar with Taris by nlRht an well as by day. Into the libretto or La Vie ParMenne they have con trived to introduce about as tnuch of Its rottenness as could well be compressed Into the space at their i command. Running through the dialogue there Is a Stream of filth which surpasses In Its unsavory odor anything to be found In all the operas bouffee which have preceded la Vie ParMenne In this city. The whole affair is Dimply a carnival of low Intrigue, a dirty and disgusting medley such as could come only from the slums of Paris. Under such circumstances, We certainly do not Intend to defend La Vie Parinienne against the charge of smuttlness, which our friends of the Kvenina Bulletin have hurled against Offen bach In general and this excrescence of Offenbach In particular. Yet we can, without saying a word In palliation of indecency, point out the Inconsistencies of the Bulletin's argument of yesterday. Scarcely a week has elapsed since tho Marctzek troupe per formed Don Giovanni at the Academy of Music in this city. The Bulletin complacently announced Unit the opera would be produced, and on the following afternoon, having had an opportunity to sleep upon the subject, was as mute as the traditional oyster Yet every opera-goer knows that the dialogue to which - Mozart set his grandest score Is the quintessence of vileneHS. "Leporello," the "Don's" man of all work In general and of dirty work in particular, is made, in the ninth scene of the first act, to recount to "Elvira" the achievements of his gay and festive master. So nu merous had they become that tho faithful squire dared no longer trust his memory, and had taken the trouble to reduce the narrative to writing. Almost on a par with Don Giovanni Is Riyoletto, In the score of which are found some of the most brilliant mor eeavx of Verdi. But little lower in the same cata logue come Donizetti's La Favorita and Verdi's La Traviata, In the plots of all of which the element of Hastiness prevails over all others. And yet we do not rememlwr that the Bulletin has ever been thrown into a paroxysm of pious wrath at the announcement of any of these operas, or that it has labored through three-quarters of an editorial column to prove that their performance at the Academy of Music was a pollution of that sacred edltlcc which was "built for the encouragement of art in Its purest and beat forms." All reforms, however, In art as well as In politics, must be gradual ; and so the Bulletin sin gles out Offenbach, and lunges at him with all the ardor Don Quixote manifested in his famous assault upon the windmills. It rides gallantly to the onset, and smites poor Jacques Offenbach hip and thigh, In blissful forgetfulness that time and time again "tliu noble Academy of Music, built for the encourage ment of art In Its best and purest forms," as exem plified in Don Giovanni and Itigolcttu, has been "pros tituted to the exhibition of vulgar dances and un seemly acting In pieces'' such as the Ba-k Crook, Kant Lynne; or, the Jilojtem'.iit, Un Hallo in Manchera, and Robert le Diable, that hold up to Bcorn and ridicule both art and morality." If the dances of the Mark Crook are not vulgar, if the elopement of "Lady Isabel' 19 not an infringement upon morality, If the ballets incident to Robert and Un Hallo are not as disgusting as the Can-can, if the achievements of "Don Giovanni" arc exemplary, if the revenge of "IUgoletto" is in strict compliance with all the commands of the Dccalogiie, we are prepared to acknowledge that our ideas of vulgarity and morality are slightly mixed, and to enter upon a labored defense of Genevieve de Brabant and Jja Vie Parinirnne as the quintessence of decency. La Vie Parisienne, the latest of Offenbach's eccen tricities which has been produced in this city, was given at the Academy of Music last evening, beforo a large audience, every member of Mr. Grau's troupe being included in the cast. The scene Is laid In the Pails of to-day, and, as we have intimated above, in plot and dialogue it is about on a par with Don Giovanni, which means simply that it is Just about as nasty we prefer the word nasty to the Bulletin' "good old English word" smutty as it can be, and no more. Yet the librettists Jiave contrived to turn everything to ridicule, and In seve ral of the scenes the element of extravagance com pletely overwhelms that of Indecency. The gro tesque "Swiss Admiral.'' who wears spurs because, although such may not be the custom in countries which have a navy, it is not objectionable in coun trlM which have no navy, presents the very consum mation of extravagance. Even more ridiculous than the hereditary Admiral is M. Carrier's "Major Edouard" not a respectable sol dier of a major, nor yet a drum-major, but a table d'hote major, quite incapable of description. M. Carrier's get-up in this role is unquestionably the moBt remarkable that has ever been witnessed in this city, and it is only to be regretted that such a unique and fantastical caricature has not been in troduced by Offenbach into some of his less objec tionable effusions. M. Carrier heretofore has earned a reputation in this city for tameness, but his person ation of the "Major" last evening totally dispelled the notion that he has not a tine conception of humor and deserves to rank as a tirst-class low como dlan. Of the music bnt little can be said, for there is comparatively little of it, ami none that presents anything novel, if we may except the Old Tyrolese air, "Mein Voter Ut ein tichiicider," which Is worked np, in its variations, with all the dashing extravagance at Offenbach's command. Madame Rose Bell perpetrated this with such exquisite drollery that it was three times vncored, and the wild enthusiasm of the audience proved that Offen bach is not yet played ont in this city. Glancing around upon the audience, in the mids of the tunmlt, we could recognize a very large pro portion of the habitual opera-goers, all so eager to testify the intensity of their delight, that they could not suppress their enthusiasm until the end of the scene. The cause of the nproar was entirely charac teristic of Offenbach, and the great favor with which It was received showed the source of his popularity here and elsewhere a successful appeal to the sense of the ridiculous which exists in every human heart. "Sot until such audiences frown upon Oll'eubueh will Jie be diivenfrom the stage.

Purchasers can rely upon obtaining a real, pure article furnished at a price which cannot be equallod. He also has a large stock of American Western Watches in all varieties and at all prices. A visit to his store is sure to result in pleasure and profit. Mast a Man who fully intended having a new suit yes terday wore his old clothes because he deferred getting his new ones till late in the week, and then was prevented by a pressure of other matters from attending to this. The best way is to buy it or give the order font early in the week. There are great attractions at Oak Hall this week, and every possible inducement is held out to those who want Spring Clothing, good and cheap. If they are sharp, they will visit Wanamakeb A BnoWN's, and that right early. Elegaht Paintings. We invite attention to the exhi bition now open at Messrs.
