News is to hand of the successful production at La Scala, Milan, of tha ballet Japan, the mosio by Louis Ganne, recently seen at the Alhambra here. The spec tacle has been greatly enlarged, no leas than five hundred performers taking part in it, with new costumes designed by C'oinelli, tha whole being produced under the direction of Signer Coppi, of Drury Lane Theatre.

The next Alhambra ballet, by the way, will deal with the story of Carmen, and will be presented aoon after Easter Mr. A. C.

The vogue of the great painters of Barbison, of Dupr, Corot and Rousseau, of Diaz, Millet, and Danbigny, of their comrade Harpignies and of their followers, Jaoqne and Troyon, is not only not abating in England, but eems each year to grow stronger.

The McLean Salubt ia particularly distinguished this year by possessing a fine example of perhaps the least popular, perhaps the most interesting, of them all Theodore Rousseau. It bears the legend "Landea boisees en Sologne," and resembles the capo d' opera of the master, the Marais dans las Landea," of the Louvre. It illustrates the artist's passion for probing into tha minutioa of form and colour. All the delicate differences, all the delicate likenesses, of tho grosses, af the wild plants of tbe foreground, all the transitions of the light, in the nearness and the distance not a difficulty in earth or sky, is slurred. Everything is set down.

Nevertheless, the ensemble is perfect, the breadth unimpaired, and though the canva ia small, it ia grand and spacious. Equally characteristic is the large Jacque, The Flock the sheep are painted as if he had been the shepherd, and the dog, a chien de berger da Beauce, delightfully put in. In "L'etang de Mortefoutaine," again, one sees Corot in his most decorative mood. It ia his favourite grouping, an opening; through the copse, with the toll aspens quivering above you, and for vista a sunny lake on which a wooded bluff looks down. There are two large Daubignya, views on his beloved Oise, both schemes of green colour, not quite in -his most poetical vein, but luminous in the skies, rich and velvety in the trees and river gross.

Then there is a Troyon, The Moat," attractive, though in a somewhat unusual way, with the weathered walls overhanging the smooth, water, and the perfectly observed geese, some floating along in conversation, others busy at their toilet on the bank. There is a taking Diaz, sufficiently described by ita title, Le Bendez-vous dans le Forifc," which seems to have been painted rather, but net very, early, for it is a rich example of his sous-bois praotiao with hali-nude figures introduced. Among other noticeable things is a large and well-known Meiasonier, Friedland, 1807," the cavalry galloping post tha Emperor, and full of the artist's incomparable observation, but the bruahwork, masterly though it be, misses the charm we find in his smaller piece. There is also a "File Champetra, brilliant and a little bizarre in colour, but typical of Monticelli, the Italian colourist, who hardly ever even visited Italy. Last, but not least worthy of mention, is a tiny Whistler, The Cottage Door," a model of subtlety in tue gloom which wraps and reinforces the delicate harmony of the colour.

At Messrs. Tooths' there is an equally interesting exhibition, though it is not so strong in example of tbe French school of 1830. There is a quite 'magnifieent example of Ludwig Knaus A Village Council." It ia a gathering of villagers in the Sobwarz-Wald, and the discussion is interesting, not only to the red-waisteoatad councillors who, indeed, are wholly engrossed with it to the spectator. The characterisation of tha differerent types, tbe self-sufficient burgomaster, the old man eloquent who has ia parole, the dork and saturnine leader of the apposition, and tbo ne'er-do-weel, who looks up as he is lighting his pipe, ia singularly complete. Not Millois himself was a greater master of gesture.

The composition, too, is masterly. This is in th ante-room, where also there is "A by Billet, a girl in short petticoats, with her heavy pole net over her shoulder, standing on the wet sand. He was, if we remember right, a pupil of Jules Breton, but be has a simplicity and directness not often found in th Ieganoeeof his master. Th figure of the girl i thoroughly free from pose, yet quite graceful, and the colour i of the sweetest and freshest Somewhat similar in feeling is the" Wet Pasture" by Willem Maris real pastures, these, and real damp air of the pastures. The companion picture to The Shrimper," The Bait Gatherer," ia spoileJ by the ugly line of the back of th stooping; girl, bat it sad the other- country scene, Going to the Well," do not miss the nleinairiste charm.

Tamily Cares," a mother and child, by Bouguereau, is oonaeived in quite another vein. Here we hare artist's elegant classicism raised to the highest power.

George Alexander has provided au entertainment duligfatl'ul alike to the sympathetic young playgoer and to the playgoer who, being uo longer young, judiciously minimises hue middle age by seeking the happy society of youth. It ia in youthful laughter and youthful grief, in boyish passion and in girlish despair, that the keynote of Wilhahn Meyer-Funter a pretty play is struck. The story itself ia as youthful in ite artless style as in it unsophisticated sentiment. Its spirit is that of the irresponsible schoolboy; its motto is the Gaudeamus igitur Juvenes dum suniua so appropriately sung by the students as they clank their beer-mugs in the riverside garden of Biider's Inn apposite tiis ancient castiu, as they moke their extravagant protestations of lava to the Innkeeper's dainty niece Kathie, and as they breathe tho fresh air of lusty lifd into the half-stiilsd eiioteuce of the Prince, who escries for awhile from his cramped court surround. inga iii ti their free-and-easy camaraderie.

Every now and the'J, perhaps, the chorus sounds a trifle loud for unaccustomed ears, and tha general hilarity gets just a little overpowering in its boisterous manifestation. But theoe are faults upon the right side. There is not so mash of genuine wholesome mirth, of the pure joiede vivre, to be found upon our stage that we can afford to blame it for an excess of affect which iB, perhaps, largely the fault of our own weakness in being so easily overwhelmed by a natural now ol high animal spirits. The whole thing is admirably done at the St. James's, where Mr.

Alexander instead' of laboriously attempting to accentuate and bring oat tbe Teutonic tona and detail of the romance, has wisely contented himself with reproducing the brood general motive, common to all nationalities, which is supplied ia the contrast between Court etiqustta and collegiate informality, between the trammels of the Sovereign and tbe liberty of th aubjeot. There may not be anything particularly German about the Prince Karl Heiurich of Mr. Alexander, or the humbly-born sweetheart, Kathie, of Miss va Moore. But there is iu both what is far more important, tha true ingenuousness of sentiment needed lor imputing sincerity to a youthful love au'air so unreasonable, so impossible, and yet withal so touching us theirs. Mr.

Alexander has managed somehow to take twenty years or more off his appearance and znauuer, aud he hears himself in his opening scenes with his faithful tutor Dr. Juttner, and with the handmaid at the inn, exactly like a shy lad half alraid to be emancipated from a tutelage which has hardly galled him, and to be thrown into a pretty girl society. It is the fault of the not very subtle playwright, aud not of the players, that the tongue-tied Prince's development under the cheery influence of Fraulein Kathie and her many admirers ia incredibly rapid and it ia his fault also that the fast fading recollections of palace formality, as embodied in the languidly pompous valet Lutz and tbe officially precise Stoatsniiuister von Haugk, become somewhat tediously mechanical as they are renewed in act after act. Both onaraoters are rendered with aisidnous care by Mr. Lyall Swete aud Mr.

Alfred Bry-done respectively, and both have probahiy been already reduced in dimensions. But their heay and perfunctory oomedy might still ba abbreviated with advantage and one would like to got a little moi quickly to the spontaneous vik-acity of the so charmingly interpreted by Mr. Alexander and Miss Eva Moore. These passages, as delightful in their convincing romance as any seen on our stage for many a long day, are equalled if they are not surpassed in human interest by the fine Btndy of the manly old tutor Juttner, with the mind of a dr.vasdust professor aud the heart of a life-loving boy. It soeuia a pity that for the sake of a touch of melodramatic emotion the worthy old man, so finely conceived and realised by Mr.

Beveridge, should be killed off by a needless attack of stagey defeneration of the heart but at any rate he leaves the pleasantast of memories behind him. One would have liked, however, to see him concerned in that cleverly devised scene of tba lat act, wherein the Prince, attempting to renew the caanal joys of bis old university days, finds them killed by the dress-clothes decorum and propriety thought necessary for his old chums' reception of their royal guest. As to the students themselves, with their 'corps and their knife-scars and their ohoroses, they do their meiry-makiug with moat natural animation, though, of 'course, with less meaning for an English audience than they would for a German one. Their leader, Mr. Leicester, ia, perhaps, loss suited by tempera- meut than by physique to the duties asked of him; tot the part ia a ailScult one to fill with due regard to tbe safety of a lady who has to be hoisted on to the impulsive performer's shoulder.

Mr. A inley figures more boyishly as leader of another student corps, and Mr. Vivian Reynolds ia atrrorine; as the rather tiresome servant.

J. ei 9, Cwiogan-plnse, who aied 03 the 20ti depends for its point almost entirely, upon highly-coloured characterisatioii and broad." fun of tha kind due to sheer high spirits. Yet it score so well as a living picture of bygone manners notably in Mr. Cyril Monde's wonderful reaKiatron of Lord Ogleby's toilet as illustrated in the famous Zoffany now at the Garriok Club, and also in the night-gown scene of the last act that it bids fair to renew something at all events of ita old popularity. Tha origin of the comedy eeema to ba rather mixed.

Although its authors, Column and Garriok, advertised their indebtedness for ita subject to Hogarth's Marriage a la Mode," there can ba no doubt that they owed something to the farce FoZm Concord, by tho Rev James Townley, author of the batter-known HoaLBclouiS(o'r. In Garriok's prologue, however, he acknowledged the former souros only in the lines Poets and painter, who from nature1 draw, Their best and richest stores, bave roads tnia law That each should neighbourly assist his brother, And steal with decency from one another. To-night your matchless Hogarth gives the thought, Wbioh from his canvas to the stage is brought. In its stage history, Which begins in 1766, Th Clan-destint Jfuri'iuys is, of course, associated with many famous names. The original Lord Ogleby was Tom King, as Garriok, much to Column's disgust, declined to play tha part.

Tha elder Farren made much of his reputation in tha character, while amongst the representatives of Mrs. Heidelberg have been Kitty Clive, Miss Pope, and Mra. Davenport. In later days the comedy has been little known to playgoers since its performances by Samuel Phelps at Sadler's Wells iu 1857, and at tha Gaiety in 1874. It was, however, revived at the Strand in 1887, when the William Farren of to-day played Lord Ogleby, when Miss Fanny Colemau played Mrs.

Heidelberg, and when tha cast included also Messrs. H. B. Conway, Beeves Smith, Mark Kinghorne, and E. G.

Lsgge. So far a tbe present interpretation is concerned, its whole interest, and, to tell the truth, most of ite merit, centres in Mr. Cyril Maude, few, of whose colleagues show any special aptitude for their respective tasks. By far the beat are Mra. Charles Calvert, who gives the proper tone to the very ponderous humoare of Mrs.

Heidelberg, that degenerate descendant af Mrs. Mala-prop, aud Mr. Eria Lewis, whose Canton ha just the right French veneer of finish. By the rest the tone and distinguishing style of the period are almost wholly missed. There is a certain gallantry about tbe Sir John Melrille of Mr.

Allan Ayneaworth and the Lovewell of Mr. C. M. Hallard, but it is the gallantry of to-day, and is licking in any special distinction. MiBs Jessie Batcman makes a nico ladylike girl of the secretly wedded Fanny, bat she can gir no suggestion af tbe manners of any day but her own, and neither she, nor the spiribsd Misa Beatrice Ferrar, as her shrewish sister, ever seems really at home in their daintily-accurate reproductions of an eighteenth century fashion-plate.

Mr. A. E. Matthews'a dandy valet ia very good, but tbe chambermaid of Miss Maidie Hope misses the traditional touch of suah conventional creations, while the kind of vulgarity imparted by Mr. Lionel Eignold to his Sterling is altogether wide of tbs mark.

Happily, however, as has been said, Mr. Cyril Maude, in a genuine actor's triumph, realises marvellously both the senility and the foppishness ef that typical old lady-killer Lord Ogleby, whose rheumatic fascinations he elaborates with many a neat touch of nature, and yet with just the required joupfou of amusing caricature. Whenever he ia on the stage the revived comedy goes admirably and his study of decrepit aire and graces may of itself amply justify th revival's popular success. Tbe result of th well-intended but not vary wU considered enterprise upon which Mr. Farmer Skein and Mrs, Bandmann Palmar embarked at the Grsat (Jueen- treat Theatre on Wednesday was by no means encouraging.

In any case, Sudermana'a gloomily-powerful bat crude and strained drama Sodom' Enda must present considerable difficulty to English adapters and interpreters, and also, we may add, to level-headed English spectators of its hysterically-emotional action. This ditnoulty it was, no doubt, which caused the abandonment of the not too tempting task by the prominent actor-uianager who was understood to have it in view but, still something rather more seriously impressive than To Man and hi Picture, as rendered in Great Queen-street, might well have been made out of Sodom's Elide elsewhere. However closely and even literally the original may have been followed, one cannot help feeling that its spirit mast be almost grotesquely misrepresented in the odd oharacteiaof the frantio artist and the mature siren played in such deadly earnest by Mrs. Baudmaun Palmer and Mr. Farmer Skein.

On any other assumption it is impossible to understand the reputation which Sudermann's oharaoteristio study of temptation and fall and punishment has secured on the stuge of ita native country. It must be admitted that both performers work bard aud loyally according to their lights, while they obtain very intelligent asaistanee from Mr. B. Clarence, an aotor of much promise, from Misa Pattie Bell, and from that pleasing young actress Miss Gertrude Burnett. But tho production as a whole seems to be at best a well-meant mistake.

For Tuesday next Mr. Paul Arthur promises at the Criterion Mrs. M. L. Byley's now comedy, partly light and partly sentimental, Tim Altar of Jf'rittnthnip, which has already enjoyed a prosperous career iu America.

The chief characters will be cast thus Richard Arbutbnot, Mr. Paul Arthur; Arnold Wiuifrith, Mr. H. B. Warner Lord Algernon Flexmore, Mr.

Douglas Gordon Colonel Sartorit. Mr. Sydney Paxton Joseph Pinner, Mr. William Mackintosh Sally Sartor is. Miss Ellis Jeffreys Florence Arbutbnot, Misa Liliau Braith-waite Lady Chalmers, Miss Kate Bishop Mary Pinner, Miss Janet Alexander and Mrs.

Beech Horto.i, Miss Vera Beringer. The soenes the three acts are laid in Arbuthnot'a chambers in town aud at Lady Chalmers house at Wimbledon. For next Thursday afternoon at tha Apollo Mr Anbroy Fitzgerald has now arranged tbe trial production of an adaptation of Mr. Bobert Hicheu'a eccsntrio story.
