Of course, I am speaking her of critics by profession—men whose business it was to_distinguish points of good and bad acting. Of the general public I could only say that itis much the same as the public everywhere—kind, indulgent, ready to make allowances, and detesting above all things to' be wearied or bored. But one remark I must make about the American theator-going publie, which is a feature peculiar to themselves, and, I think, much to their credit, they have an extreme indulgence for artists, and a reluct t0 o press their dislike of an actor or whi does not please them, so that they will rarely hiss or attempt any disturbance. * 1f they di like the performance they simply stay away or go out of the theater, “I had,” he added, “‘once myself a curious experience of that Kind, which seems to me 80 unique in my know! lwu.(' of the stage that I will tell it to you.

Benjamin Godard's new ope “Dante,” which was brought out at Opera Comique recently. He speaks of fli- grant imitations of Gounod, Verdi, Aube and Halevy, and udds: “AS to the gene fnspiration, it is often poo is not atoned for by skillfulness of w sure command of means.” And as though this were not strong enough, he finishes by saying: “All this only denotes want of carc, wint of labor, want of artistic conscience, and, as I said above, too much self-confi: dence.” pi ~ being a complimentary one, of cou not leave during thy possible appearanc 1 management. -« M.

Godard. He is satisfied w everything and with himself more than any things else. Each note that falls from his pén weighs at least a pound, and the lightest of his scores would bend the shoulders of Atlas in person. He swallows him compietel that he is no longer cons of his own merit, for with equal satisfaction he admire his best pages and flattest cavatinas. They are his work; that is sufticient. Some day or other the swelling tones of his strident or- chestra will cause one of these heavy cantile- nas to fall upon the head of the imprudent eper. In his ingenuous candor M. Godard lieves himself the direct heir of the cl masters.” Such is the tone of a Parisian criticism, which_irresistibly reminds one of a passage in_the diologue of Beethoven’s “Fidelio.” Lenore, disguised as Fidelio, » is told by Rocco of the sorrowful plight of a prisouer (Florestan) in castle, 1 the dungeons of the which she says shudde treaaful criminal 17 To SOr must have pow it comes to the same thing.” The “Cooley" of His Time.
