THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—Those play-goers of twenty
years ago, who remember with affection the melodramas
of " Victerine and the " Wreck Ashore -" who saw the
opening door in "Satbanas," and the tank 0!
re 1 nater in "Die Hexen am Rhein ;" those of
later timee, who have wept over the sorrows of
Madame Celeste, or laughed at Mr. Wright with
the peacock's feather in his wig, and the red blanket
fastened by skewers round his body—all these people,
say, will be interested to hear that the building in
which they have received all this delight is to be pulled r':
down. In the earliest days of next month the Adel Pal
closes its doors, and the work of demolition will be
at once begun. By the middle cf September it i°
expected that a new theatre, much larger and more
commodious, erected. in the same place, will be read!
fir the reception of the public. Mr. Webster, who
is now sure proprietor, Navin; recently purchased from
the representatives of the late Mr. Frederick Yates
their interest in the property, originally intended to
raise the money necessary for this new building
on debentures, bearing five per cent, interest, and
conferring certain advantages on the holder; but this
scheme, apparently, did not find much favour with
the speculative world, and has been abandoned. Noy,:
is the time for doing away with all kinds of abuses and
oenventionalities which have long held sway in the
Adelphi—for giving us stalls where our knees need not
be in our mouths, or in the small of some other gentle'
man's back—for giving us priva`e boxes where wore
than one person can see, and where when not in' a
place of honour, we may sit without being compelled
to keep our bodies to the audience while our heads are
twi,ted round to the stage—for giving us staircases
which are not ladders, and for abolishing breaking 144
and utterly exterminating that door ! that marvellous
door, a blob is always kept locked, and which seems 0
be there as a kind of practical joke, to show people that
though they've paid money and ascended the stairs yet the
boxkeeper don't consider they have any right to seats
I
No doubt, however, in the new house all this will be
rectified. During the rebuilding, Mr. Webster's corn' •
pany will act at the Surrey, and at the same time Mr.
and Mrs. Barney Williams will appear at Drury-lane.'
