How the Scene Wa. Once Lighted.

It must have often struck people,
when reading of the old performances
in the last century, how it was that the
lighting was contriyed. The power Of
oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters
like Drury Lane and Covent Garden
were of enormous SIZE There were no
footlights, at least until about the mid.
die Of the last century, and they were
the humble floats, dim enough Yet
there was ample light to observe ex-
preston and play Of features, so neces-
sary in interpreting the fine old come
dies Of character Nowadays the stage
is one blaze. II is literally bathed and
suffnsed in light. There are no shad.
ows, and yet it might be said the
amount Of necessary light is no moro
than there used to be and is not nearly
as satisfactory. How was it then?
In the theaters of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads Of the actors from the
arch Of the proscenium and just outside
the curtain. When the play was over,
these were lowered slowly, a signal for
the audience TO depart These chande-
Tiers furnished goodly amount Of light
ON circular zone Immediately below
them The actors faces and figures
were lit in the natural way. as the sun
would light them, but the rest Of the
stage was comparatively dark or
gloomy ---Gentleman 's Magazine.
