M'lle de Lu9san's presentation of Marie was at times somewhat exuberant, but scarcely too lively when the coiiditions amid which Donizetti's heroïne was reared are taken into account. It had, moreover, the uncominon merit of uniting to lts dramatic excellence and cont.igious spirit the positive worth of a lyric effort of ii high order. The audlence waxed enthusia-tic over everything; there were tour or flve recalls after the tirst aud second acts.and the final curtaiu had to be raised again before the crowd departed. The general representatlon of the opera was animated and remarkably smooth, Mr. Baxter proving an acceptable Tonlo and Mr. Clark an appropriately brusque and sonorous Sulpice." Emma M.
