“At the French Theatre Mr. Grau commences a closing season of opera bouffe on Saturday evening next. The chief feature of his brief series of entertainments will be the production, next Tuesday, of Herve’s ‘Chilpéric,’ with a cast including almost every important member of his company. The mise-en-scene, we are assured, will exhibit all the brilliancy for which Mr. Grau has made the French Theatre justly celebrated. For Saturady and Monday nights, ‘La Vie Parisienne’ will be produced.”
