T11E DRAMA IN VA 725 D URINO TUB
81 EOS.
A correspondent of the London Athenaum
girts tbe following highly interesting descrip
tion of the manner in whioh the besieged
Parisians contrived to gratify their tastes for
the drama:
The mont striking Indication of the superi
ority which French aotors possess over their
British brethren is observable In their indif
ference to stage paraphernalia. No nation i
so scrupulous in correctness of detail as oar
Oallio neighbors; and yet when circumstances
arise which preclude a pursuit of realistic
truth, there are really no actors but the Pari
sians who can take a stand on the exsellenoe
of their elocution, and charm the spectator
to tears or laughter independent of the
trammels of theatrical illusion. This faot
. has long sinoe been clearly set before us by
the members of the Comedie Franoaise, who
hare been until a year ago in the habit of
playing short pieces in private sa'ona with no
adjunct beyond a pair of folding screens;
and lately in besieged Paris the excellence of
that admirable company has been put still
more severely to the test.
After tbe disasters of Sedan the natnral
hilarity of the capital met with a sudden
check; Paris Bank into such a depth of des
pair as to forget its theatres; Mad'lle Desclee
smiled to empty benches, and the bewitching
Pieison shrugged her fascinating shoulders in
vain. Suoh a state of things was unprece
dented in the annals of the stage. One or two
theatres struggled on, endeavoring bravely to
weather the storm, until one morning there
appeared a Government placard on the walls,
which settled the question at once. "La
Patrie" was declared to be in such deep
mourning that all signs of gayety were an in
sult to her grief. Every species of popular
entertainment was peremptorily ordered to
cease forthwith; scenery and properties were
to be carefully stowed away out of
reach of Bhot or shell, and the precious
lounging-places, crowded to excess but a few
short weeks before with throngs of holiday
makers, were to be prepared immediately for
the reception of the wounded. The pursuit
of pleasure came to an end for the time
being, but after a lapse of a month rumors
began to be afloat that bills with the well
known names attached were about to be
distributed, and that we were no longer to be
condemned to wile away the evening hours
with dominoes or ecarte. The opening of a
theatre in the face of the Government procla
mation was a dangerous experiment, but the
members of the Comedie threw themselves
into the breach, and announced a series of
Thursday recitations; while the director of
the opera brought up the rear wi'h a promise
of Sunday selections of popular musio. There
were many little compromise?, however,
with the ruffled feelings of sternly patriotic
Belleville. Performances were to take plaoe
in the day time only; the musio at the opera
waa to be as severely disagreeable as possible
recitations were to be unaccompanied by
scenery or orchestra, and were to be as dull
as they could be made; add to this an icy-cold
house (for fuel was to be employed in a bettor
cause) and no more light than was absolutely
necessary (gas having been placed on the re
tired list, with milk and butter and other
luxuries), and it is unnecessary to state that
we were not likely to become uproariously
and aggressively gay, or to shook the feel
ings of the Brutuaes by a display of un
seemly dissipation. But poor Paris hankered
after a change of ideas, and longed to
. drown, If only for a moment, the memory of
ever-present sorrow. The theatre once
opened was besieged: pale rhapsodies of
Corneille or Racine were applauded to the
echo; the audience, usuallyjio fastidious and
intolerant of trifling defects, sat patiently
through endless "stage-waits," and buried its
nose in its furs without a murmur; it hailed
the bombastic emptiness of the 'Cid with
acclamation, and laughed and wept by turns
over the lugubrious Btrophes of the 'Chati
ments.' The theatres chosen for these lenten
entertainments was the lively little Bouffes,
where whilome Chaumont winked and Schnei
der sang. What a strange sight it was ! A
heavy odor of petroleum filled the air; in the
lurid light and through the murky atmosphere
scaroe anything but uniforms could be
distinguished uniforms and ever uniforms,
and ladies dressed in black. There was a
low hum and bnzz of voioes as each man dis
cussed with his neighbor the price of bread
or the latest reports of Chanzy or Faidherbe.
Suddenly there came three taps: Favart en
tered, dressed in crape, and incontinently
began to declaim 'Stella' it was, by Viotor
Hugo first monotonous and slow, with soft
white hands clasped one upon another, and
then warming by degrees with exquisite
modulation until at length she flung her
arms above her bead and proclaimed herself
with flashing eyes and dilated nostrils the
Angel of Liberty and Goddess of Truth.
The effect was startling one serpentine
movement glided into another the transition
was so gradual from an absolute repose of
dreamy narrative to a great burst, as she
cried "Awake, awake ! ye that are sleeping !
Arise, sentinela, to your posts I Awake
arise !" that one was completely carried away,
and forgot for a moment the windiness of
lingo's lines. Her consummate art as an
actress concealed the flimsineas of the author;
her energy and strength gave to the verses a
backbone which they did not otherwise pos
sess. The bright look of fervor faded from
her face as she smilingly bowed and retired:
to be followed by Coquelin, who recited quietly
a string of stanzas suggestive of military
glory, in his ordinary dress of a National G uard.
Then came Marie Laurent of 'Jack Sheppard'
notoriety, who related to us an endless story,
alse from Victor Hugo, of a fisherman's mis
fortunes a dreary aooount that dragged its
length along, and finally left us as indifferent
as at the commencement, in consequence of
the overpiling of the agony. Yet the people
listened calmly, seemingly indeed with in
terest, applauded judiciously on the whole,
and were evidently quite prepared to have
their minds improved. When bhall we find in
England an actor or an actress capable of
doing likewise? Is the audienoe yet grown up,
or in course of growing up, that will allow
members of the dramatie profession to stand
in plain clothes and deliver long passages of
Milton or of Shakespeare, and enjoy, or even
tolerate, the process? Are the managers yet
in being amongst us who are prepared to ran
the risk of putting the matter fairly to the
test ? One hears it deolared that a one-act
play of serious interest must fail at home
because its proportions do not impose upon
the crowd; but the fact is, that an EoglUu
coan goes to the theatre to laugh, and not t j
think, and repudiates a performance whioh U
purely an intellectual entertainment. Of
course there are a seleot few who rejoice ia
readings, but they belong for the most part
to the class that really likes the stage without
darinp to admit it; whereas in Paris it is thu
Crowd those pits and galleries who laugh
over the eccentricities of the Grand-Duohess
and General Boom that sit down content
edly and listen for hows to simpld deolauia
lion.
After a few trials the opwra broke through
the rule of "afternoons," boldly resumed the
evening hours of representation, and these re
mained in force until the end. The house
was lit entirely with candles, a soft and
pleasant light enough, but one whioh helped
bnt little to chase away the graveyard chill of
all those bitter cnbio inches. Every instru
ment seemed to have a frozen echo, and a
perfect clond of steam issued from the
mouths of the chorns as they rose and com
menced to sing. I do not know when I ever
saw so sad a spectacle as that vast house pre
sented, packed to the roof with uniforms and
sable dresses, the only bits of color in the
mass being the galloons of the officers, their
caps and facings; on the stage a crowd of
ladies like a rustling band of crows; at either
tnda gronp of citizens "coupe-choux" on
thigh, tbe ensigns of war upon their breasts.
The ice being thus fairly broken, the
"Francais" took tbe bull by the horns, and
opened its doors with a promise of a regular
play. Beaumarchais' comedy of 'Figaro's
Marriage' was accordingly given, with Got
the inimitable in his original character, sup
ported by Mesdames Brohan, Ponsin, and
Dubois. Fancy Cherubino, archest of pages,
played by a demure young lady in a black
eilk gown! fancy the trial scene of the third
act with puzzled bigwigs and grand seigneurs
all clad alike in the monotonous black and
red "of the National Gnard uniform the
lively Barber in white gloves with a blue great
coat, ill-fitting black trousers, and military
boots and spurs! It was as though the gar
rison of a oountry town had joined the
widows in a general "spree," and had under
taken to combine a funeral with private
theatricals. The incongruity was great for a
few moments after the rising of the curtain;
but a short space of time sufficed to cause the
spectator to forget such details in admiration
of the marvellous power of concentration
which these artists possess. Afternoon per
formances took place thenoeforth with tolera
ble regularity every Thursday and Sunday.
Moliere and Marivaux prepared the way for
Scribe 'Tartuffe' and the 'Misanthrope'
gave way to 'Ladies' Battle;' but this was
too much for the outraged feelings of the
Brutuses, and 'Andromanohe' was hastily
substituted. By degrees, even they became
more tolerant, and allowed stage-dresses
to be donned once more. The
bombardment commenced in course
of time homes were shelled and children
slaughtered in the streets; still the curtain
rose to xrowdod houses, and people calmly
read their papers daring the entr'acte to the
sullen booming of distant guns. On the day
of th9 final struggle of dying Paris, when her
sons went out and fought for the first and
only time while mothers and wives and
sisters were crowding anxiously about the
gates, waiting with sickening heart and pallid
lips for news of their dear ones who had gone
out that morning never to return, the "Fran
cais" played 'Le Medioin malgre Lui.' Got.
outsnono Himself; never was he more bril
liant: the public was entranoed, and reoalled
him again and again. Tbe dreary cannon
roared iar away too far away to be exciting,
and yet close by but two miles off, under the
walls of the great city: presently there was
a stir and whispering a - commotion
in the corridor, as a brancard was carried by,
bearing a shapeless mass covered with a
bloody cloak: it was all that remained of
poor Seveste, a promising young actor at
tached to the theatre. He had played his
part in a great tragedy, and had gone forth
that day to offer himself up for his country's
weal: the sacrifice had been accepted: he waa
carried into the Foyer des Artistes with a
mortal wound, and disappeared in the shadow
of Talma's statue, behind the towering mar
ble of the great Rachel. "Poor Seveste ! so
young so full of promise! Ah, well, it's
very sad !" and the buzzing ceased, and
every man settled himself in his seat and
rubbed his glasses with his handkerchief, as
the prompter gave three raps and the curtain
rose for the last act.
