Madame DUGAZON, who ought to have been in possession of a considerable fortune, from the vast sums of money lavished on her by Englishmen, is at this day reduced to perform the parts of mothers, in which she acquits herself so as to deserve neither praise nor censure. Madame PHILIPPE. Under the name of DESFORGES, she shone formerly in the part of Marguerite in Richard, coeur de lion.
The play was Gretry's "Les Evenements Imprevus." Unfortunately, Madame Dugazon thought proper to bow to the Queen as she sang the words, "Ah, how I love my mistress!" in a duet. Above twenty voices immediately exclaimed from the pit, "No mistress! no master! liberty!" A few replied from the boxes and slips, "Vive le Roi! vive la Reine!" Those in the pit answered, "No master! no Queen!"
In consequence of this opinion, at the very moment when he was coming off the stage, after having personated that character in his piece, he was apprehended and taken to prison. DAZINCOURT. In no respect can the same reproaches be addressed to him as to DUGAZON; but as to what concerns the art, it may be said that if DUGAZON goes beyond the mark, DAZINCOURT falls short of it.
Mademoiselle BOURGOIN. She has some disposition for comedy, which she neglects, and has none for tragedy, in which she is ambitious to figure. I have already alluded to her beauty, which is that of a pretty grisette. Mademoiselle GROS. She is the pupil of DUGAZON, and made her debut in tragedy.
The chef d'orchestre, if he is charitable, starts her off with a contribution from his own lusty lungs, and then she oh, her voice is always thinner and more osseous than her arms, and her smile no more graceful than her train! As well think of the simulated trees, water-falls, and chateaux leaving the stage, as the dugazon!
In an adjoining room were musicians and actors, among them Ponchard, Le-vasseur, Dugazon, Panseron, Mlle, de Munck, and Mme. Livère, of the Théâtre Français. The most interesting of their performances, which I attended merely as a listener, was a vocal quartet by Cherubini, performed under his direction.
The actor Dugazon had sung verses, denunciatory of the inhabitants of the Château; and at his window in the Tuileries the king had heard the applause and these menacing strains, that reached even to his palace.
Grétry and Delayrac, who wrote for her, were mad about her. No one ever again played Nina like her Nina, so decent and so passionate at once, and so unhappy and so touching that the mere sight of her made the audience shed tears. Mme. Dugazon was a royalist, heart and soul.
When each had taken his place at table, Dugazon, pretending to stammer, addressed a remark to Thiemet, who, playing the same role, replied to him, stammering likewise; then each of them pretended to believe that the other was making fun of him, and there followed a stuttering quarrel between the two parties, each one finding it more and more difficult to express himself as his anger rose.
Duc d'Aiguillon; d'Angoulême; de Brissac; de Chartres; de Choisseu; de Coigny; de la Feuillade; de Maine; de la Vauguyon; de Liancourt; d'Orléans; de Richelieu. Dugazon, Madame. Duke of Brunswick; of Normandy; Paul of Russia; of Tarouka. Dumont, M. Dumouriez, General, character of; and the queen; resigns his position as minister, and takes command of the army.
