THE NEW THÉÂTRE DE L'OPÉRA-COMIQUE, PARIS

Disappointing architecturally and inadequate as a modern playhouse, the Opéra-Comique is fortunately one of the few prominent new buildings in Paris that does not occupy a commanding site and has no special place in the symmetrical city plan.

Le petit palais des Beaux Arts, opposite the Great Art Palace, on the broad new avenue leading
across the Pont Alexander III to the Invalides. St. Ganden's "Puritan " was exhibited, as shown
above, during the last Paris Exposition. Elsewhere we show it in its more recent settings.

UNDER THE DOME OF THE GREAT ART PALACE, PARIS M. DEGLANE, ARCHITECT

The broad, sweeping stairway is most interesting in its construction, and thoroughly modern and direct. Every rivet, brace and beam is exposed, and plays its symmetrical part in the decoration as well as in the construction.
