"The moment tho curtain is seen to rise,"
nays the writer in the old poriodioul, "that
instant confusion turns itself into order. Un
like onr countrymen, who call for silonce by
the word itself, the French express their wish
for attention by a noise which may be de
scribed as a prolongation of the syllable tV.
After the curtain is once up, it is expected
that no pergon should interrupt the purform
ance; the established rule of a French
audience is universal attention."
This attitude of attention is the same at
the Theatre Francois now as then. Tboro is
the same order, the same absolute silence
observed, the same complete sympathy with
the progress of the drama. Any casual in
terruption is instantly suppressed; silk
dresses are not allowed to rustle, fans must
not flutter, no whispers must circulate; the
audience is expected to exist, for the time
being, only for the actors, as the actors exist
only for the audience. Between the acts of
the piece comes the relaxation. Then most
of the spectators leave their seats and throng
the antechambers of the theatre, whore the
imagination still finds a stimulus in art.
Grand statues of dramatists, players, and
poets have their dwelling-place here, giving
dignity to the amusement of the hour, as
they suggest the immortality of genius.
The hour passes; the play is acted out when
the curtain falls; but the creative power
which brings a noble drama into existeaoa
remains a treasured memory for a great
nation. The marble statue of the man is the
symbol of his genius carved out for unborn
ages. The player who iutensified the pas
sions and realized the beauty which the poot
conceived stands by his side in sculptured
glory, and shares his immortality.
An author or an actor, passing through
these halls, feels the stir of ambition within
him, and a spectator entering them, full of
the emotions which the stage has excited,
feels satisfied that these are not vain things,
and returns to the next lift of the curtain
with a deepened interest. When audiences
and actors are in such a condition of mutual
sympathy the actors are impelled to great
efforts. An audience so attentive does not
overlook excellence in tho smallest perform
ance even in the delivery of a message and
therefore every player has a sufficient motive
for doing his best.
A complete harmony which is justness of
proportion an adequate skill in all tho parts,
and their combination, result from these in
fluences, and an acted drama at the Francais
is a work of high art. When such players and
such an audience are dealing with the work
of a great author, the excellence produced is
of that kind which makes a permanent im
pression of delight upon the mind.
There is a dramatic poem by Alfred de
Mnsset, little known in England, called "La
Kuit d'Octobre." It is not a play, it is a dia
logue which takes place between the poet and
his muse. The poet who is the victim of a
fatal passion, whose soul is stained, whose
life is corrupted by the poison of a misplaced
love is sitting by his deserted hearth in
gloomy meditation when his mnse addresses
him with tender reproach. Why has he ne
glected her? why has he abandoned tho do
minion of beauty and truth which she had
opened to him? In reply, he tells the history
of his betrayal and his great despair; she an
swers with compassion and with an exhorta
tion to return to her, and in her pure em
brace to soothe his bruised heart, to accept
the bitter past as a wholesome medicine, to
slake his burning thirst at the sweet waters
of the stream of Helicon, to take her hand
again and suffer her to lead him to the re
gion of eternal glory. The poet listens,
throws off his consuming lethargy, worships,
and is reconciled: and so the piece concludes
a piece depending for its interest exclu
sively upon the poetry of its passion and
upon the truth with which this poetry is ren
dered in recitation. The dialogue is confined
to two persons, one of whom is a visionary
being behind a veil, and there is no move
ment but that of inward passion. No stir
from without, no interruption even for a
single instant to the seclusion of the poet's
6tndy, no scenio effect, no action beyond the
gestures of one unhappy man. There is pro
bably no stage in the universe but that of the
Francais where such a representation could
attract and satisfy an audience; there it does
both satisfy and attract, and when Mad'llo
Favart and M. Delaunay are playing in it, the
pit is inoonveniently crowded, and yet the
silence of the throng is liko that of a single
rapt listener.
But where is tho EnglinU pit, g illery, or
dress circle which could tolerate these revela
tions of the poet's miud with no other aid
from without than that of the muse ut the
back of the scene, veiled, following his step
with slow, floating movement extending her
arms compassionately towards him, but never
meeting his eye?
It would bo less impossible to find trage
dians in London capable of performing, than
auditors capable of listening to such u scene;
indeed, throughout the whole of our great
metropolis we cannot at tho present day as
semble a full audience willing to listen with
undivided attention to u dr.tui itij poem or
a poetical drama. We havi, indeed, no
established drama, no pkyho ise where the
manager can afford to wait. The Francais
and tho Opera Coiuipie, tho Odeon, the
Chatclot, and the Grand Opera, all the
houses in l'aris whore the performances are
.the most finished, and where tlio best pieces
are produced, receive support from Govern
ment. In London evt'iy play produced is a
money speculation, and muht therefore ad
dress itself to tho lmmmlute gi-atiueation of
the masses; and the mass is gonerally vul
gar, and prefers the lowest and coarsest
food. Audiences require to be educated by
the drama before they can appreciate it. The
Francais, nt depending for tmpport solely
on the immediuto applause of the public, has
had time to direct and improve its taste, and
in this way every first representation at this
house is sure of assembling a circle of in
structed critics. A considerable degree of
importance is attached to representations
which make a portion of the national pride of
the people, and the study of the tragedian is
that of an artist whose skill is well under
stood and appreciated in all its details. A
piece which has gone through forty-eight re
hearsals is still annbunoed as "in prepara
tion;" they are continued till there is no flaw
in tl.e performance. At tho Opera Comi j.ie
la jititc (ic'i Kr, imd J.e pmitirr Jour de
Jloithtur, are hh remarkable for exquisite
finish and unootlitiesM as the Xuit d'Oc.to'ire,
or Jl nc fiint jurrr dc rien, or I'nil For
rutin, or J.e Meuttur, at tho Framus.
The performances at tho uueudo-ved theatres
are not equal to these in completeness and
harmony. Where there is a Freuch eorupiny
there will generally bo found some talent and
often Koine (lenius; but it is not tho clever
ness of one or two players which produces a
perfect work of nit, but the indefatigable
drilling of a company and the careful cherish
ing of every germ of ability aud the propor
distribution of every part. Wherever a play
house is a mere ppecul.it ion sue.h au amouut
of care becomes impossible, and the best am
bition cf the player is at au end, and is re
placed by a restless vnnity or a greed for gain.
The minor theatres of l'aris excel those of Lon
don, inasmuch as they have models of excel
lence in the endowod playhouses, with the
hope, for the superior artist, of being engaged
in the higher regions of his art, where, be it
remembered, not only all the best skill of
modern Paris is concentrated, but where also
the traditions of its past classical drama have
their home; aud where the retired genius
enjoys his well-earned pension, aud makes it
his pleasant task to train tho rising Ulmit of
the day. Those who have read that delicious
dramatio poem by Francis Coppec, called
"Le rassant," will accept the fact of its great
and prolonged success at the Theatre de
l'Odeon as a sufficient proof of the retined
taste of I'arision playgoers. For the beauty
of the piece consists in its poetry, without
any kind of spasm or sensational effect. The
French writers, casting off the pedantic tram
mels of thoir classical drama, have developed
a quantity of poetry of which they were sup
posed to be incapable. Victor Hugo and
Alfred de Musset are acknowledged by all
nations in their different ways as eminent
dramatic poets, and M. Coppee, for that one
production of "Le Fussant, ' deserves to be
named in the sume category.
Clever writers of comedy and romantic
drama arc too abundant for any satisfaotory
selection, but Angier, Sardoti, and Fonillet
are the names which the most immediately
present themselves for distinction in that
long list. But as some evil is wont to be
associated with tho good of this world, we
find that the now freedom which has opened
a way for the imagination of the dramatio
poet has also given admittance to the vaga
ries of unsound thought, which substitutes the
abnormal for the true and puts fever in the
place of force. The danger that the genius
of France incurs at present consists in the
spasm and contortion which the romantio
school has encouraged, and which writers of
such extraordinary gifts as Victor Hugo and
Octave Feuillet ought to have had the strength
to renounce. M. Octave Feuillet's last tra
gedy, called J ulie, is a case in point. It is a
domestic tragedy; a painful, fatal passion
absorbs the unhappy woman who is the sub
ject of it, from the first to the last scene,
culminating ill her death. She dies of her
internal anguish. The play, though the plot
is of a disagreeable nature, is not an offence
against morals, but it is an offence against
art. No human being could take any touch
of pollution from this drama. The penalty
of the transgressor is very bitter, and there
is no scene of alluring tenderness to soften
its effect.
But young authors desiring to imitate M.
Feuillet would be likely to enlarge tho sphere
of bad art by working with such a model be
fore them for it is only the intensity of the
emotion which atones for the manner of its
development. That intensity of passion,
reached by the master's hand, absorbs all the
feeling and suspends the judgment of the
spectator; but the slightest shortcoming
would make it revolting to the taste. Indeed,
tho least failure of strength in the actress
would be fatal to the piece, even as it stands,
and M. Feuillet would hardly have ventured
upon his concluding scene if he had not
known the peculiar genius of Mad'llo Favart.
So much regard for the special talent of an ac
tress is not good either for author or player, and
a beautiful drama is rarely produced under
such an influence. The great fault in the
construction of M. Feuillet's Julie consists in
its monotony of pain in the absence of that
relief which bounty gives, or should give, to
the severest tragedy. Such a relief is afforded
in the terrible tragedy of Lear by the tender
ness of "Cordelia" and the devotion of the
fool to his master; and no perfect master of
his art would allow any great tragic work to
be complete without some touch of beauty of
this kind. The true poet will not be content
merely to lacerate the imagination; he will
also elevate and soothe it. The scourge is
too much in use in the modern French ro
mantic school, and the imaginative faculties
of the reador or spectutorare indanger of being
blunted or stunned by along course of this sav
age treatment. It is to be found in many of the
late productions of the 1 rench dramatists,
and in some works of the most distinguished
poets, as in Victor Hugo's play of Le lloi
no in Me, which is in some respects a grand
production, and winch would have taken its
place among the masterpieces of creative
genius if the poet hud used more restraint;
if he had puused in the whirlwind of his
passion, and hud tempered the horror of his
situations with some alternations of repose
and sweetness. If such writers as Victor
Hugo, Feuillet, and Angier throw off the re
straints of true art, unit, in order to o-taia
violent and stortling effects, abandon doco-
rnin and dignity, tho pbiyars will come by de
grees to follow their example, and instead
of such finished artists as Favart and De
launay, we shall have shriekers and grimaoers.
Things have not yet arrived at so bad a pass
as this; but the tendency of the modern
school of fiction in France (and in England
also) is in this direction, and it is the busi
ness of the honest critio to speuk words of
warning while there is yet time. The Eng.
lish acted drama is past hope it is dead,
without a chance of resurrection; but the
French stage lives yet, is still vigorous, is
still fresh, and still maintains the elements
of beauty within it uncorrupted. It runs the
risk of descending to a lower, but it has the
nieuns of rising to ahigherlife. Maemillan'8

Hint to Wearerit of IIl UloYes.
It is not geuerully known, or does not
appear to be known, even by those who wear
kids almost exclusively, that the durability
and sot of these articles depend very much
upon how they are put on the first time.
Two puirs may be taken from one box, of
exactly the same cut and quality, and by
ei virtu different treatment when first putting
the h.mds into them, one pair will bo made
to fet much better, and to wear doubly, or
nearly that length of time longer than the
other. When purchasing gloves, people are
UHuully in too much of a hurry;
they carelessly put them on, and let them
go in tLut way then, thinking to do the
work more completely at another time. When
this is the case a person is sure to meet with
disappointment, for as the L'love is made to fit
i the Laud the first time it is worn, so it will fit
ever after, and no amount of effort will make
a fatisfurtory change, "over ullow n stretcher
to be used, tor the glove will Hot bo likely to
fitas well for it. Allot the expansion sLo ill be
made by tho hands; if Him kuls are ho rv.u ill as
to require the aid of a strercii.-r, uiy huou'h
not bo pnrchnsed, as they nill prove too rn ill
for durability, comfort, or beauty. When
selecting gloves, chooso thus.) with ibig?r.s to
correspond with your ow:i in h::i ,nh; t.ika
time to put them on, woiKing in u.o uugur.i
first, until ends meet ends, then put iu tho
thumb, and smooth them down until they are
made to fit nicely. A glove that sots well
will usually w ear w ell, at le.'iMi w in wear hot
ter thon one of the same kind that does not
fit well. WLen tho ends of the lingers do
not come down right, or when they aro so
long as to form wrinkles npon tho sides of
the fingers, they will cnale out easily;
where the stretcher bns to be used to
make tho fingers largo enough, the body part
will be so small as to cramp the hand so that
it cannot be shut without bursting the seams
of the kids. Some recommend putting now
kid cloves into a damp cloth before they are
put on, and allowing them to remain until
Mioistened. With this treatment they can be
put on much easier than otherwise, and will
fit very nicely until they get dry, but on
second wearing there will bo an unnatural
harshness about them, wrinkling in spots, aud
they will not set so perfectly as at first. I
have tried the damping process and do not
approve of it. Canadian Journal of Com
