FARMAN THEATRICAL&
M. Eugke Prevost, son of the celebrated actor, has made his debut at the Theatre Francais, and is going through a series of those parts that are supposed to constitute the ordeal of a high class comedian. Connected with his engagement is the rehearsal of Le Philinte de Moliere, the ever-celebrated comedy of Fabre d'Eglantine, which was originally produced at the Theatre de is Nation in 1790, and has not been acted for twenty-five years. The Mousguetaires de la Bane of Halevy has been revived at the Opera-Comique, and Le Petit Ponca has been repro- duced at the Varlet& This last-named work was written in the first instance for the Vaudeville, where it was played in 1845, with a real Tom Thumb as the principal character. A small performer again sup- ports the same weight of five acts, but whether he is the same as the hero of fourteen years ago, critics with long memories do not pretend to decide.
