It will not be at all surprising if it should re ceive the encouragement it desires. Foreign art usually finds a hearty welcome in London. There is generally some entrepreneur who is willing to fake the necessary risk, and who as a rule, inda the speculation fairly renfitabla. London is a truly coupolitan city, and is ready to applanit suything that is excellent, by whomsoever it is furnished. It has given a temporary home not only to kinsmen, like the Amorinus, or to neighbours, like the French, but to German, Italian, Data, and oven Japanese and Indian artists. Italian opera bas been acclimatisot there for more than a century; French tragedy and comedy have become alinost famili to English audiences. Nor havo foreign performers made merely a succés de curiosité in Bagland. We do not know that vary much was taught by the Datok players; but we had ondanbiedly sama- thing to learn from French lightuessalensemble. the Gormans certainly taught us how to make stage-rowds life-like, and, if the Italianshave not Peralatianised our vocalmodes, they have, of lato, instructed us in the method of troly agïls and ox- pressiv dauging. The Americans may also havea neful lesson for ne. The pièces de raistance, it appears, are "Turkish playe of the opera bouffe description." Well, at prosent opera boufe is mther discreditai in England. Possibly the Latios and gentlemen from Eastern Europa may do something to revive and reform this particular form of art. There is talk of Parsse company coming to a London theatre, Clearly, thea, our notors will not fail for want of various cx- emplars. Farbaps, if we do not take care, the tutors may outnumber toe pupils, and the wo shall begin to deplore once more "the decadence. of the Dritish stage."
