Lilliputians will appear In their Native Costumes as Kaanas of
Iximaya.
The Aztecs are from the great and mysterious city of Iximaya, in
Central America, described by those standard authorities—Humboldt,

operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; an@ in the growth

DRU.RY-LANE THEATRE.

The annual general meeting of the proprietors of
Drury-lane Theatre was held on Saturday, in the saloon
of the theatre. Shortly after two o'clock the chair was
taken by the Earl of Glengall, and the annual report
was then read by Mr. Burgess, as follows :

" REPORT PROM THE GENERAL COMMITTEE TO THE

GENERAL ASSEMBLY OP PROPRIETORS.

" The general committee, on the occasion of meeting the
proprietors at this annual assembly, are gratified in being
able to state that, after having devoted much time to the
negotiation with the late lessees, for the purpose of putting
an end to the double letting, under which the theatre had
been demised since the year 1849, they have succeeded in
obtaining a surrender of the term remaining unexpired
under such letting ; and, having thus succeeded in their
endeavour to restore matters more nearly to their former
past, and will look forward with more confidence to the
future. In consequence of what has been above stated,
the committee have been enabled to grant a lease to Mr.
E. T. Smith, who is the present lessee, at the annual rent
of 4,0001., being the same amount as was reserved under
the double letting. With respect to the present decorative
state of the theatre, the committee beg to state, for the
information of the proprietors, that in the recent lease,
under which Messrs. Jullien and Gye held the
theatre, was contained a covenant to expend in the past
season a sum of 5001. in substantial and decorative re-
pairs, and which they were ready to perform ; yet of such
primary importance did the committee consider the sur-
render of the remainder of the term, that they deemed it
prudent to forego a portion of the amount stipulated to
be by Messrs. Jullien and Gye expended, the committee
receiving the money, instead of its being laid out by the
late lessees, by means of which nearly the whole of the
works which appeared to be necessary has, under the
superintendence of the architect, been gradually effected,
during the summer recess, by Mr. Palmer, who has been
many years employed at Drury-lane Theatre, and who has
charge, on the part of the proprietors, of
.the wardrobe
and properties departments; and the committee may now
congratulate the proprietors upon the present state of the
interior of the theatre, which, in point of decorative
embellishment and accommodation, is not surpassed by
any other theatre in this metropolis. As regards the
financial position of the property, the payment already
made to the renters is only an instalment in respect of
the present season, and, although small in amoent, it is
hoped that it may be augmented from time to time, as funds
come to the hands of the committee, from the resources of
their lessee and otherwise, to enable them to make a fur-
ther payment to the renters. The committee have to state
that, notwithstanding the difficulties with which Mr. Smith
had to contend, in point of time for preparation previous to
his opening the theatre, as well as disappointments in his
managerial arrangements for Easter (which compelled an
earlier closing than was otherwise intended), he has proceeded
gradually towards the liquidation of the amount of his
rent for the theatre to the present period. With reference
to the prospects for the future, the committee are informed
that Mr. Smith contemplates (with the concurrence of the
committee) introducing shortly at Drury-lane Theatre an
English operatic company of celebrity, and under distin-
guished patronage, during the monthsiof October, Novem-
ber, and a part of December. The sum of 1,3491. 45. Bd.,
being one year', rent, has been paid to the ground landlord
the Duke of Bedford, to whom the committee feel it in-
cumbent on them to express their acknowledgments for
the indulgence and forbearance which his grace has ex-
tended towards the property in times of 9nergeneg, arising
from the non-receipt of the rent from various persons who
have been unsuccessful in their theatrical enterprises. The
heavy amount of rates and taxes under which this estab-
lishment suffers has also been paid, as well as the other
demands for salaries, and nearly the whole of the expenses
for the year which has passed since the committee last had
the pleasure of meeting the proprietors in general assembly.
The cash receipts of the season, by lessee's rent and other
incidental sources, have amounted to the sum of 3,7201.
13s. 6d., whilst on the other head the payments amount
to 3,6741. 17s. 7d., the final accounts of which, as audited,
are now laid before the proprietors. In concluding this
report, the committee trust the steps they have taken
during the past year, and the arrangement by which they
have effected the termination of the late modeunder which
the theatre was let, will meet with the approbation of the
proprietors, and be the means of raising the position of
Drury-lane Theatre."

A PROPRIETOR wished to know for what term the
theatre had been leased to Mr. Smith ?

The CrlAntarerr said it was optional with Mr. Smith
to go on, or with the committee to put an end to the
agreement, which was for seven years. The lease was
determinable upon six months' notice on either side.
Another PROPRIETOR—What amount of rent has he
paid in the six months ?

Mr. BURGESS—Eighteen hundred and odd pounds.
Mr. PYEFINCH understood that the terms upon which
Mr. Smith had the theatre were to be acted on strictly ;
and that the moment he failed in paying up his rent,
the committee were to act promptly in terminating the
engagement. He believed the arrangement was made
because Mr. Smith was a stranger to them, and there-
fore they could not have the same confidence in him
they might have had in others whom they were better
acquainted with. The small sum that he proposed to
start with, and the little security that appeared to be to
the committee, had, he understood, determined them to
terminate the agreement the moment he failed to meet
his engagements with them. An he understood from the
report that had just been read, Mr. Smith was now in
arrear ; and he wanted to know how it was that he was
still permitted to go on. He was under the impression
that the moment he failed in his engagement the lease
would be put an end to, seeing that Mr. Smith did not
occupy the position that a gentleman renting that thea-
tre possibly ought to occupy, and that it was the duty
of the committee to run no risk of loss. He should like
to know how long it was since Mr. Smith had failed in
paying up his rent.
Mr. BURGESS said that on the 11th of February he
failed in his payment, and about a month since he re-
sumed paying.
Mr. PYEFINCH would ask whether it was fair to have
allowed him to go on in that way ! He did not think
that such a proceeding, any more than the management
of Mr. Smith, was calculated to raise the theatre to the
position it ought to occupy. How was it that Drury-
lane, the most eligible dramatic property in the world,
should be in its present most deplorable condition ?
Almost every other theatrical property in London, was
comparatively successful, while this was most unsuc-
cessful. He asked the committee to consider, for a mo-
ment, whether they were not, to some degree, in fault.
No doubt they had done all they could, as honourable
men ; but he asked whether, as commercial men, they
might not have done better. That they had been very
lenient to Mr. Smith was very evident, and it struck
him that the theatre was likely to lose its character in a
dramatic point of view. They had granted Mr. Smith
very indulgent terms, and they had allowed him to go
on still without paying the balance due. It was hardly
fair that such should be the case. It was doing no
credit to the theatre, in his estimation. If they looked
back at the way the theatre had been recently conducted,
they had nothing to congratulate themselves upon, and
they ought to bear in mind that "an empty house is
better than a bad tenant." Let them look at the spi-
rited management of Mr. Kean—look at the manage-
ment of Mr. Webster. If they went from Sadler's Wells
to the Haymarket, every one of them was decidedly
more successful than Drury-lane.
The CHAIRMAN said the honourable proprietor had
mistaken the case very much, and he could assure him
that neither the committee nor Mr. Smith were very
much to blame. The theatre had been let formerly
under very peculiar circumstances, and by a species of
joint tenancy. That was thought advisable some years
ago, as an experiment, but it had most certainly failed,
and it had been the cause of the want of success on the
part of Mr. Bunn, and also, in a great measure, the
cause of that of Mr. Smith. Before the tenancy of
Messrs. Jullien and Gye was put an end to they had a
lease for half the year, from June to December, and
their promenade concerts lasted till that period. The
consequence was that the lessee could not come in and
prepare for his winter campaign, which was always the
most profitable part of the season, and he seldom had
more than ten or twelve days to prepare and bring out
his pantomime. He had no opportunity of rehearsing it
in consequence of the continuance of the promemade
concerts, and undoubtedly the pantomime was a great
source of profit to the lessee for some six or eight weeks
after Christmas. The promenade concerts destroyed all
hope of that. Mr. Smith had come to them and had
taken the theatre, notwithstanding all those difficulties
staring him in the face. He was not fully aware of all
these difficulties until he had got into operation, and he
had experienced the same failures as former lessees from
the same causes. The committee had been for several
months endeavouring to get rid of this joint tenancy
lease, and after more labour than he (Lord Glengall)
had experienced in connection with the theatre for the
last 20 years, they had accomplished it. (Hear, hear.)
They had succeeded, and had now got the theatre com-
pletely into their own possession, without any of those
intricacies, or terms, or conditions which Mr. Anderson
was foolish enough to consent to when he made the agree-
ment with Messrs. Jullien and Gye. For instance, he
could not play Italian operas or perform promenade
concerts ; he could not even perform German operas ;
and, in fact, when Anderson made these foolish terms,
he was under the impression that dramatic representa-
tion alone would carry the town, and they were all, un-
fortunately, well aware of the result. In the present
case, Mr. Smith, having taken the theatre at a late
period of the year, found that he could not get a com-
pany, every performers of any degree of celebrity being
engaged elsewhere. He tried several experiment, but
they failed, and losses came thickly and heavily upon
him, and he was compelled to close, but now Mr. Smith
had got it free from all obstacles, he was under no re-
sposibility, and could do as he pleased, and lie bad no
doubt that by letting him go on lie would be enabled to
get back his losses and pay up his arrears. He was
about entering into an engagement with an admirable
company for the performance of English opera. Some
of the artists were, he understood, first-rate people, and
they proposed to commence early in October. Mr.
Smith was remarkably well backed, and he put it to the
proprietors present whether it was not more judicious to
continue him as their tenant.
Mr. PYEFINCH, with all due deference, he would sub-
mit that Mr. Smith had not the ideas or the capacity
that would enable him to conduct a large theatre like
Drury-lane. If they compared the management of
Macready and Smith, they would see in the former
evidences of a master mind.

_ -....-.
Mr. SPENCER said no doubt the receipts were very
large in the time of Macready, but so also were the
losses, and the rent was paid out of his own purse, not

out of the results of his success. In the case of Captain
Polhill, which the public also thought a successful
management, he was upwards of 50,0001. out of
pocket. Mr. Macready had been advanced no less
than 1,9001. by the committee, in order to bring out five
of Shakspere's pieces, but that was in consequence of the
properties being in so bad a state. At present the
theatre was in a state of the most complete efficiency
and repair. At the time Macready took the theatre the
stock was worn out, it was necessary to renew it, and
the committee thought it right to allow him nearly
2,000/.
A PROPRIETOR was afraid it was not generally under-
stood that the rent of that theatre must always be taken
with the reservation of an "if." (Hear, hear.) Nor was
it known that from the time it was built to the present
day every lessee who had taken it had been ruined. Mr.
Macready had, fortunately for himself, a long purse ;
and as for Captain Polhill, although he lost 50,0001. or
60,0001., his enormous wealth was the only thing that
saved him.

The report was then received and adopted, and the
officers who went out by rotation re-elected unani.
mously.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, which
The Earl of GLENGALL briefly acknowledged, and the
meeting separated.
