A second performance of Moliere's comedy. "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme," will be given this evening at Union Hall, Boylston street, Boston. The production in Brattle Hall last Thursday was successful in all respects and there is every reason to believe that tonight's performance will be even better. Nearly all the seats are sold already and the audience promises to be a large one.

It is a noteworty fact that this is the first time a French play has been given by the Conference Francaise in Boston and the undertaking deserves the support of the whole university. No college has ever before - so far as is know - attempted anything like this production of "LeBourgeois Gentilhomme." The scale on which it is brought out and the fact that the caste includes nearly forty persons will give some idea of the magnitude of the affair.

One of the most pleasing features of the entertainment is the dancing of Messrs. Hoppin, Stevens and Hoppin, while the Turkish ceremony in the fourth act is very amusing.

The only criticism we have to offer is on the music in the Turkish scene. It is wholly inconsistent and contrary to the spirit of the production. The ceremony is already farcical enough without deliberately making absurd horse-play out of it. The directors would have done well to omit the music altogether rather than to drag in songs which cheapen the scene.

The play is certainly worth seeing, however. It is a serious attempt to advance the knowledge of French language and literature and as such is thoroughly commendable.

The cast for tonight's performance is the same as on Thursday. The Pierian Sodality will play the overture and entr'actes.
