Tae work is cleverly written In that solemn style which seems to be accep‘able to Italian audiences and tunity lor the display of declamatory power, In lis action, however, lt 13 very slow, and the two n scarcely be regarded otherwise than in the light of a very long and not very inter ing prologue, The story of st, Bartholomew's Eve is so well Known that It ts scarcely necessary to reproduce it here. itis @ theme wien furnishes ample Scope lor dramatic treacment, ana in the hands of a clever playwright ought to be exceed- mgly effecuve ana attracuve. certainly not succeeded in doing so.
