At the grand theatre of St. Petersburgh, there is an
iron curtain, fire-proof, which may be drawn right across the
b /use, so as completely to isolate the stage from all communi-
cation with the audience part, as a precaution in case of fire.
The Emperor himself is nervous upon the subject of fires,
a:most to a disease. Lately an alarm was given in this theatre,
snd a part of the audience left their places, occasioning a good
deal of confusion. Immediately afterwards an intimation was
given to the management that they would be held personally
responsible in case of fires occurring in future.
