An irish Criticism.

One Of the funniest criticisms l can
remember on dramatic hitch. says Mr..
Edmund Yates, was delivered in the
Queens Theater, Dublin. years ago. A
portly Mephistopheles in some Faust
extravaganza had to .'go home" The
dramatic devil was, like Hamlet, "fat
and scant Of breath, and as he sank
through small circular trap-a sort Of
converted vampire, +" to be technical
he stuck. The demons below tugged At
his crimson legs in vain; the mortals
above tried to stuff him down; all use
less. And then, over the delightfel
Dublin din that arose from the whole
house, cried siill. small voice: "Well.
boys, that's q comfort, anyway-hell's
full!" Then they dropped the curtain.
