The Theatres Of Paris PDF Download

Excerpt from The Theatres of Paris A new piece is advertised, all Paris flies there the curtain rises, the actors appear, the friends of the author applaud, the enemies of his person or his talent hawk or blow their noses. They go to supper; those of the guests who could not be pres ent in the theatre, ask about the success of the novelty. 'tis pitiable, or 'tis delicious, says a mer milleux, who in his life never judged anything but by contagion. From the end of the table a pretty woman confirms his judgment, only adding that the hair of the actress was very badly dressed. Tem pom matantur, but might not this paragraph have been written in this year of grace 1880? It is not only in France, alas, that people are prone to judge by contagion.
