The vexata qumstio of the Parisian Italian Operahouse received a
prac- tical solution by the opening of the theatre on Tuesday last. &elk was performed, with Mademoiselle Sophie Cruvelli as Desdemona, and M. Bettini as the Moor. The entrepreneur is M. Corti. The French dramatists seem to have imbibed a strong inclination to render the histrionic profession a subject of general interest. At the stately Comedie Francaise, a comedy called Sullivan has lately been pro- duced, the hero of which-an actor by his vocation-is endowed by M. Melesville, the author," with such exalted virtues, that even Sir Nicol Jenkins, a rich East India Director, cannot help bestowing upon him his only daughter. At the Varietes, Taconet, a theatrical mauvais sujet, who by writing and acting in dramas of low Parisian life created a furore in the days of Louis the Fifteenth, is the leading personage of a long five- act piece, and is represented by the man who of all others seems born to represent him-Frederic Lemaitre.
