Peannast THEA.TRICALS.

M. Mazeres, who was once a most prolific dramatist but has lately become slow of production, is the author of a five-act comedy, called La Maim, recently produced at the Theatre Francais. The heroine, played by Mademoiselle M. Brehm, is a young lady of great simplicity of man- ner; which is mistaken by her husband for weakness of intellect, until she gives him a practical proof of her wisdom by extricating him from sundry difficulties.

The fair fugitive Cruvelli is expected shortly to reappear in Les Huguenots. Verdi's new opera is in rehearsal at the Academie, and its production is expected in the course of January.
