PRECAUTIONS AT THE FRANCAIS.

The new iron curtain of the Theatre Francais is a gigantic affair. It neither rolls up nor folds together, but ascends in a solid sheet into the upper regions, which have had to be heightened to make room for it. The ascent occupies a minute and a quarter. It appears, too, that the new drop scene, with its colonnado and busts, is not an ordinary rolling canvas, but is glued to the iron curtain. The other structural alterations at the Theatre Francais have involved a sacrifice of seating space to the value of over ijj»7s a night. As the theatre is open every night in the year, and generally filled to overflowing, the annual loss involved in these changes may be reckoned at something like $25,000.
