WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER II.

LONDON THEATREs.-There is something
quite amazing to an American in q London thea
ire, in all their essential respects. What is pop
ulsrly termed the pit that is the parquet OF
floor, is nearest the stage-offers the best oppor-
tunity for seeing and hearing. and yet is mol
more than half or quarter as expensive as Tue
first tier OF gallery just above it.
The first gallery is the most expensive anu
fashionable portion of the house. NO woman ID
allowed to wear hat or bonnet IN Inc calcony;
Above is another balcony less expensive ana
where hat may be worn Inc galleries 9e
crease in Irice until tho one next 10 lne loIi -
reached which is for the populsce. hele SUIT
sleeves, lunches, bottled beer and Iaaoemoaiun
generally prevail without limit. :.
What is so very singular to an American Is
the contrast betw cen the lowar gallery ana !he
nit which spreads out in front Of it. In the
former nearly everybody is in full dress, Wh,le
in the latter the independent brition OF tns
male persuasion is just as lisbls a. not TO- SIT
all through the performance without removing
his hat-especially if it be q silk one ana quitee
new and shiny, and generally OF klnd Wnlcn
he fanc!es is liable 10 attract attention. IL ID no
uncommon thing to see one OF these genseu' tiI
between the acts, riss in his seat, surn lace .l7
audience and then 60 over carefully eScn aal'
lery with his lorgnete.
Heperslly the individual who does this has q
glass screwed so artisticallyin one Ct ms eyes,
his hsir parted 60 exactly in the mlddle, anu
clustered down go tightly TO his head, bis ALL
tude is so effective, that always fancy ne rises
to be seen rather than to see. and that ne SCANS
the audience solely for the purpose OF discover
ing whether or not he is attracting large
amount CT admiration.
