“The revival of opéra bouffe at the Théâtre Francais is another one of the successes of the season. ‘The Grand Duchess,’ with Mrs. Howard Paul in the title rôle, has nightly crowded the house during the past week, and as the same bill will be repeated for the next six nights to come it is but fair to presume that the public patronage will also continue unabated. Boxes have been engaged for Tuesday evening for Prince Andrew and S[illegible].”
