PARISIAN Tnnezmeets.
Guzman the Brave, that old Spanish hero, whom some call a patriot and some consider a brute—that pattern of ancient loyalty, who when
the besieging enemy threatened him that they would kill his captured eon if he did not surrender Tarifa, flung them a knife to assist them in carrying their threat into execution—Guzman the Brave now flourishes at the Odeon; having been put into five acts of verse by M. Mery, and having found a fine interpreter in the person of M. Ligier. A new ballet, the scene of which is laid in ancient Rome, is the last novelty at the Academic. Its title is ...Elia et lifysie, and the chief dan- sense is Mademoiselle Guy Stephan. MM. Roger de Beauvoir and Lambert Thiboust have furnished the
Theatre des Varietes with a five-act piece called Lea Enfere de Paris. The " enfers "are the naughty places of the French metropolis; and the enticing person of the piece is Satan,—who, at the end, turns out to be a young actress, skilful in the art of disguising, and benevolent enough to employ this art in extricating a hot-brained young provincial from the misfortunes consequent on a trip to Paris. The amiable fiend is repre- sented by our old friend Madame Scriwanecic.
