lbsif the -existence of Paris is in its theatre
Our conception, indeed, a the city--of Paris,
bright, gallant, quick—is perfectly that of a
constly. bitting there 'Alike sitting out some-,.
thing very long, brilliant and surprising, of Con-
Vanbrugh's
grevfos or •
Stich a capital is, naturally, the element of the
4rtiste. It is in Paris that you hear of those
amatdng actresses of 0104 , , whom death has
forgotten, and who are permitted to move on,
surrounded with adoration, from triumph to
triumph of an endless r•youth. Nothing is more
bewildering, nothing more Parisian than these
mythic existences. Their history is dynastiB.
They begin—the gay mischiefs !--with the Bour
bons. WOuld ydu know the real cause of that
difference between Marie Antoinette and her
sober king? touring the hundred days they turn
up ' , with liberty caps, on a white horse or in a
church. The First Consul N authentically known
td havetaken snuff, folded his arms, and turned
his back upon them. On the other hand, Louis
XVIII. was so affected that he sent a hamper of
oysters and the recipe of an English sauce. As
for later tales—when the Einperor was at Ham—
That is the way they go on, from hint to hint.
A diamond on a locket—an unsuspected bit of
paste in the Austrian crown—and the late Prince
Metternich! !
Burying her feet in tradition, nodding her head
in your face—calling herself mademoiselle when
your grandfather called her madame—the myste
rious, dateless creature looms before you like a
aphynx. •
Occasionally these gay recitals receive an in
terruption that is not so satisfying. What was it
about Mdlls. Georges,only the other day—Mdlle.
Georges, whom the first Napoleon worshipped?
You admired her statue at the Exposition, dim
pled and queenly, sitting in a pseudo-classic
chair, in the royalty of youth and renown.
Meanwhile she was dying, decrepit, octogena
rian, and wretchedly poor. Vanity Fair was nu
„able_to recollect her person, even 'while it rang
with the history of her triumphs.
More rarely, one of thew biographies, touching
at legend in its further extremity, takes form
and body in the very person of the original:
some artiste, clearly of the last century, some
body who, if she would represent herself as
modestly as she ought, should give herself out as
dead, insists upon living and playing and adver
tising. Nothing , makes a white-headed exile,
coming to Paris after the amnesty, rub so despe •
xately at his spectacles as the name, on a poster,
of Mademoiselle Dejazet.
Nobody knows her age. It was printed in a
late journal as eighty-two. She herself laughs,
and says she is seventy.
When she was a child she played distractingly
the old fairy godmother in the Sleeping Beauty.
That was when the Vaudeville Theatre, contem
porary with the revolution, was opened. But
now she plays hardly anything but young lovers.
There is the very caprice of talent. A baby, it I I
paints wrinkles on its rosy cheeks and squeaks
like old Nabotte; aged, It flings itself eagerly into
the raptures and follies of youth.
I saw her the other nigitt s in the smatt little
theatre She built a few years ago on the site of
a tennis-court of the Count of Artois—away out
by the Motile, in a locality where the stranger
hardly thinks of intruding. It is a place of old
.Paris, all tingling and conscious with tradition;
a congenial spot for the merry old actress and
her little circle to forget their dates and revive
the genial past.
There, in an auditorium about as big as a
handsome American parlor, I first sat out an
<#troductory farce, the Zouare Doctor, about as
- , catsibto +mad rho/mina ow an Arneiinan minstrel
performance. Upon this they dropped a fresh
Curtain, painted over with representations 9f the
Dejszet in all her young lover's parts, one be
hind the other. I had not read the bill atten
tively,
and I waited to see BonaParte at Brienne,
prepared to .forgive a great deal, to overlook
many a wiinkle, to force myself into seeing a
strange, grave boy conducting snow-ball battles
in a military school; that was the new role, just
studied by the invincible old piodigy. I had for
gotten the interlude.
The curtain lifted slowly. A group of romp
ing village girls was revealed; they parted right
and left. In the centre, sitting in an old-fashioned
arm-ehair, was Dejazetl-a pale, hollow, trans
parent face, thrilled through and through with
sentiment and melancholy; an eye still bright, a
forehead white and wrinkled; not an atom of
rouge; a trim old figure carefully dressed in the
'fatinleet bygone fashion, the quaint artisanne
costume. Under the white ouvriere's cap, on the
chiselled forehead, hung the one concession the
artist made to her position at the footlights—a
great dewy diamond. Then, while the great girls
picked their aprons and listened, the marvelous
creature began to sing the t-'l3dranger's Lisette”
of Frdderic Bind.
Rocking herself in her chair—" Children !
.Idsette, the Lisette, the Lisette of the song
maker, whose verses you like to sing at the old
.chestnut tree—it is I! This song-maker, the
pride of the world, yes, my children, he loved
me with a tender love."
Then, leaning back, she abandoned herself
with a sort of passion to the refrain, a refrain of
she most exquisite simplicity
" Children, could you but know
How I was pretty and bright,
Laughing, I and the girls—
That was long, long ago.
—Laughing, showing my pearls
Eyes with a living light--
Peaches burled in curls—
Children, you should have seen,
I was admired so—little grisette of fifteen!"
At the second verse she wandered, or seemet
to wander, to the footlights. The girls followed,
curious and tittering. "Should I talk to you of
his glory ? The Sing himself was afraid of him I
His history you'll find in his songs; the world
knoWs it, children, better, better than L- What
know, myself, he was sincere, good, generous—
a consoling angel. Yes, I had enough to make
me happy in this world—a little corner in his
great, noble heart I " Then she caught the hands
of the nearest girls. "They shut him up in foul
prisons. Now, he needed, to make his songs, a
great, blowing heaven—or else, a storm, perhaps.
They wanted to atop his songs; but still he sang,
even in his irons; he sang Liberty. Spring,
'Lisette! "
At every stanza the refrain—given with deli
cate naïveté, all the garrulous egotism of old age
—"I was admired so, little grisette of fifteen!"
The group of girls was as perfect as the central
figure. Unfortunately, it is no difficult matter
, to find, in modern Paris, ouch a cluster of girls
tie was needed-the hard, curious, vulgar, great
armed bases of the Departements, just come to
Paris for hire or sale—and contrasting faultlessly
with the singer, all delicacy,fervor and pretty va
riety—the grisette of a past generation, the
Sower of the garret, the, coy little muse of the
poet's hearth.
"One day, children," she rambled on, "an
image-boy came through the village. I suppose
be was sent there by God. He offered me a bust
of &ranger 1 I bought it—l'd have sold my very
doves. AoI see every day his dear face, and I
cover It with fresh lilacs, new periwinkles—you
are, that is our/it's, the fête of our loves!" Then,
In a little rapture, - all vivacity and forgetful
peas, contempt of te present:—
' "Children, could you but know
How I was pretty and bright!"
By the time the ballad ended, the singer was
alight with enthusiasm. Artfully heading
per proud old back and tine waist, she leaned
olio nal talked to - r her stick. When the young
gkines were inattentive, she energetically
pinched OM Res voice, always thin, clear
and "el ran •through the alMple 'notes' like a
rivulet. lier eyes shone with real or fancied
teara—and the theatrie dianicmd shone also.
What was it shining in . her kind old eyes.
The admirers of , Itlidle. Ddjazet 'have many a
Stacy of her simplicity and goodness, and among
them ono, too pretty not to be apocryphal, about
her kneeling at the footstool of Bdranger him
self, just before his death, singing qt&Lisette,
and,making the .et cry. If so precio r tfa , alcone
eVer passed, fdjazet might well feel the moisture
rising botw n her lids as she dreamed and
traced fir, consecrated song. Or, was the
saiking ~ ' .auty-of the performance due .to some
thing m iro intimately personal. In young days
you l De,azet too, doubtless had your laureate.
01.; talcs aro told, old songs arefung,
• Id days - come back to memory:
You say, "When I was fair and young,
A poet sang of me!"
• There's not a maiden of them all,
Though tired and sleepy over so,
But wakes, as you the name recall,
And longs that history to know. t ,
And, as' the piteous tale is said,
Of lady cold and lover true,
Each, musing, carries it to bed,
And sighs and envies you!
I think the Lizette should never be sung by a
younger, by another even, voice than Ddjazet's.
No other voice is so true to a past ago—no other
Voice of the age so skillful and cultit'atcd. She
sings, and creates a bygone time. The old era,
which the second empire has destroyed, revives
once more; the contmedienne who charmed Paris
before Waterloo is warbling. The grandsons of
her old admirerafresh, ardent young men, who•
respect only one thing in this world, and that is
(strangely) a fine,• ancient woman of the past
age—cover the Magi with violets till the voice of
the singer stirs a cloud of perfume. Two of the
most vivid parts of. Paris life take form again—
the perennial actress; the Lisette of the old gar
ret. The actress still flutters across the stage—
the garret, too, that has come to the boards for
its only existence; the new streets of Paris have
obliterated Bdranger's garrets—every cranny
where romance and poesy used to nestle is gone,
and only lives in idle Paint upon the scenes.
Where shall we find the raptures that were felt,
Joys that befell,
And hopes that dawned at twenty, when I dwelt
In attic cell!
Do .you not like' the ballad of Bdrat ? lam
obliged to give it you without the melody, with
out even the refined excellence of the original
French. But I think that even in translation
something - of the . proper directness and simple
pathos is preserved. The old grisetta does not
strike an attitude and exhibithvagreta. She
knows little of the career and - glory of the min
strel of liberty. 'What she knows, is, that ho
loved her, d'ten tendre amour. So she spends her
little •
savings for his bust, and heaps it with festal
limbs& I would like to grasp the hand of the
poet who comprehends so well what he has to
paint, and exhibits, without mawkishness or
stupid moralizing, the fairest side of the Parisi
crane of a past generation—an institution dead
u ow as the Pharaohs, and merged into the grisette
of to-day, whom Ido not care to describe.
I have dwelt upon this, because it happens that
another hand—a fair and graceful hand, too,
whom-I 'would salute with all _respect—has re
. cently attempted the same delineation. A brave;
admirable Protestant writer, Idine. do Gasparin,
has chosen the theme for one of her " Horizons"
—she gives us "La Sorge de Lisette." But
'what a difference between the realistic, probable
treatment of the balladist and the sentimental
elevation of the "Dream!" The lady has the
best intentions, and may, I hope, do somebody
good-by ittaching a laborious religion, a terri
ble visionu la Bunyan, to the little butterfly
figure of Lisette. The sermon is good and sin
cere, however maapropos—but hear how quickly
it is disposed of by a final authority in modern
criticism, by no less venerablen voice than that
of M. Sainte-Benve. He read. the " Songe do
Lisette," and exclaims—in one of his latest
Luntlis—
"Ab! here we are then among those serious,
those virtuous ones who have no suspicion of
ridicule, or else brave it—who pay no attention
whatever to an amused smile. What on earth
has made them baptise with the name Lisette,
a species of, saint, an excellent old creature aW ,
Ling by a well-regulated fire, reading and rumi
nating over her bible day and night, and aware
of no songs but the psalms? It seems that the
echo of Beranger's Lisette, and of ever so many
city choruses, has hardly mounted to these pines
and Alpine horizons ! Lisette is a spiritualist!
Odd word to apply to Lisette ! Our Parisian
prejudices limit our sympathies involuntarily,
and I can hardly picture to myself the Lisette
according to 31mo. de Gasparin—this good and
venerable old woman, 'who has overstadied her
bible,' and taken hold of terrors without' suffi
ciently clinging to its promises."
But hold ! I have not left myself space for a
word aboutlhe Bonaparte at Brienne, which
was the principal piece given that evening by Dd
azet. I can only say that it was finished,easy,and
.n so old an artist miraculous. But the Lisette had
taken hold of my fancy, and .I had ears for
tie else. ENFANT PERDU.
