"We'll now find out where your charming Kitty is," Hillard said, breaking the seal. But they didn't. On the contrary, the writer hadn't the slightest idea where the play-actors were or had gone. They had opened a two weeks' engagement at the Teatro Quirino. There had been a good house on the opening night; the remainder of the week did not show the sale of a hundred tickets.
The base of the pedestal is adorned with copies of the great painter's principal works in relief. Here, too, is the famous Teatro la Scala, next to San Carlo at Naples, the largest in Italy, and capable of holding 3000 spectators.
In spite of the padding there are dozens of treasures that one passes regretfully; but the impression of the whole place is the great thing the feeling that through these solemn vistas flows the source of an incalculable part of our present conception of Beauty. <i>April 10th.</i> Last night, in the rain, to the Teatro Valle to see a comedy of Goldoni in Venetian dialect "I Quattro Rustighi."
En 1822 había publicado en París su Teatro Original, con las comedias que acabo de citar y que aparecieron dedicadas a Moratín; y tres años después, imprimió en Bruselas su Teatro Escogido, en que de la edición anterior sólo reprodujo Indulgencia para Todos y D. Dieguito, presentando como nuevas piezas El Jugador y El Amigo Íntimo, y poniendo al frente su retrato, que es el generalmente conocido y que no da idea de la vivacidad y animación de su gesto.
There are bitumen walks and gas-lamps, lodging-houses, shops and a <i>teatro diurno</i>. The bathing-establishment is bigger than before, and the restaurant as well; but it is a compensation perhaps that the cuisine is no better.
The other places of amusement in Havana, of a dramatic character, are the Payret Theatre, very large, seating twenty-five hundred; the Albisu Theatre, and the Circo, Teatro de Jané, this latter combining a theatre with a circus. As a place of amusement and instruction combined we should be remiss not to mention the Casino of Havana.
Now, just as in the days when Marcello wrote his Teatro alla moda, there is scarcely a singer who does not hold, and extremely few who do not express, the opinion that all the rest of the profession is in league against them; and by this supposition, as well as by many other circumstances, an atmosphere is created which is wholly antagonistic to the attainment of artistic perfection.
Regarding places of public entertainment, the city contains several theatres and a permanent circus, but only one of the theatres seemed to be patronized by the best people; namely, the Teatro Nacional, built so late as 1844, and having seating capacity for three thousand persons. The commencement exercises of the military school of Chapultepec are given annually in this house.
In the evening I made all haste to get to the Italian comedy again. I grew very fond of it, and found it had installed itself here in the tiny Teatro Re for the benefit of a small audience of the lower orders. The Italians of to-day unfortunately despise it heartily. Here, too, the comedies of Goldoni were played with, as it seemed to me, considerable and ingenious skill.
As they passed through the Strado Teatro, the soldier pointed out the Opera-house; although from the lateness of the hour, Rossini's melodies were hushed. From a neighbouring cafe, however, festive sounds proceeded; and Delme, catching the words of an unfamiliar language, paused before the door to recognise the singer.
