COQUELIN.
rro ram rtorroa or THE "SP ICOTATOR."1 SIR,—Some twenty-four years ago the clever French journalist M. Felicien Chartipsaur included a panegyric on M. Coquelin aine in his volume " Le Massacre," which treats of various authors and actors. He inserted the following dedications :- (1) From M.. Theodore de Banvi/le after M. Coquelin's performance of Grin goire. "A MON COLLABORATEUR COWIELIN.
Ali I souvieus-toi, mon fits, quo, cache sous co lin, Tu fs.is si bien Gringoire et si bien Coquelin. Ton vieux complice romantique,
TH1i0DORE DE DANVILLE."
(2) From M. Emile Angier after an enactment of Paul Forestier. "A. COQ. Souvenir do la journoe oU il a g-agne dos grands eperons.—Exime AMMER."
(a) From Alexandre Dumas the younger after the curtain fell on " fitrangere." "A CONSTANT COQUELIN, qui a ate la perfection memo dans le due de Septmonts. Tout le monde certifie et j'approuve.— ALEXANDIZIC DUMAS."
As such French effusions tend to become sooner evanescent in their paper covers than more solidly protected British ones, I
think it reasonable to conclude that these praises will be fresh to the majority of your readers.—I am, Sir, &c.,
ALGERNON WARREN.
