PARISIAN THEATRICALS.

M. Lenge, a new actor who essays the highest comic parts, has played the character of Arno4)he (in the Edge des Femmes) at the Theatre Fran- cais, with tolerable success. Report speaks highly of the progress of Mademoiselle Dubois, the young artist who made her debut in Lady Tar- tuft on the first night of its performance. The next new work at the Francais will, it is said, be a comedy in verse by M. Edouard Fournier, entitled La Tournie d' Agrippe. For some time past prose has outweighed rhyme at the old classical establishment ; but the production of the new play in verse :will to a certain degree restore the balance. Maurice, a novel by M. Scribe, published in feuilletons some years ago, has furnished MM. Lefrane and Baudire with a subject for a comedie- vaudeville in five acts, which has recently been brought out at the Gym- nase.
