TIrEATRE GOING

AS our theatrical season will open in few
days, a word or two on the subject seems APP
propriate.
We believe a well conducted theatre to be a
substantial good in any city. When we say this
re mean neither slight nor prejudice to that
wholesome standard Of public opinion which for
years back has looked with suspicious eye upon
all public amusements of this kind. We believe
this opinion has been remedial agent; TINT in
many places it has had its day because it has
worked out its destiny and effected all that was
ever claimed for it. We do not recoilect that
we ever heard or even read of any one, unless,
indeed, it was some of those old Roundhead, Sa-
len.witchcraft New Englanders, who under scR-
tence Of purgatorial torture forbade a man to
kiss his wife or children on Sunday, who looked
forward to the total suppression of dramatic re.
presentation.
The reason, or one great reason at least,
why this was not an end looked forward to, is
that the sentiment Of. a fictitious representation
of the real, is inherent and instructive among hui
manity. Almost with the first dawning Of civ
ilization came tho idea of the drama. The
Greeks, and only the intellectual Greeks, the
Athenians, were accustomed, young and old, to
visit the dramatic and scenic representations to
learn all sorts Of knowledge and to hear lessons
of morality. Their greatest writers, those whom
our college youth are taught to yenerate for ex.
eeIleuce Of style and sentiment, were dramatic
writers.
