His partner, Artiuelli, made love to his pretty wife. He challenges him to a duel, ends his career, and gives himself up to justice. The scenes behind the stage constitute a prominent part c" the story, and display the marvellously fine acting of the principals. The orchestra under the direction of Mr. R. Caul ton, contributes several special numbers. "THE EAT."
