THE DRAAM IN COPENHAGEN. od,
I was very much struck in Copenhagen with the gohe
taste shown in all minor matters connected with the
drama, such taste as I must acknowledge I hero
never seen surpassed anywhere. I believe a B°.lll
People" might learn a great deal by a /11,-
to Copenhagen, and a minute inspection of the--
afters. In costumes, decorations and
all the
endless. concerns not authoritatively laid down by
dreneetm writer in his play, the people in cffice
tee Theatre Royal seem, by a happy instinct, to light
upon just the right and proper thing. There is a oFt°,
pieteness,, a suitableness, an external unity that gives
the feeitng of a perfect piece of art to every evening,
performance. It is invaluable to have all minor ai,`;
ters right trim. One peculiarity about which Ott,
might be diverse opinions is the disposal of /ig'.o
Dune?, every performance the body of the house
darkened, the great chandelier in the centre being drat:
up into the roof, and all the light is upon the stage• Tb
effect, in my opinion, is admirable; but, as I said, (be!e
