APPLAUSE IN OLD ROME,
Varied Denominations Signifyin
the Degree of Approval,

the Degree of Approval.
From some relics which have been I'm.
earthed at Pompeii the interesting dis.
covery has been made that the theater
goers in old Rome were much more pune
tilious in the matter Of applause than we
moderns are. II they approved of play
or of an actors performance, they testi.
fed their approval openly. but in such a
manner as to show the exact amount of
qualification which the performance had
afforded them. In other words, they
were guided by rigid rules In the matter
and so well were these rules known that
every actor could tell at once whether he
was really making hit with the public
or was playing to an audience that failed
to appreciate even his best efforts.
When such theater goers were fairly
well satisfied with a play, they applaud
ed by swapping with the thumb and mid
die finger. If they wanted the actors to
understand that they were really salts
fed with the performance, they clapped
loudly by beating the left hand on the
right. Only the fingers of the left hand
were brought into play on such occasions,
and the sound was as If two earthen
vessels had been knocked together. A
more hearty token of approval was given
by striking the fat palms of the hands
against each other. A still more marked
token of pleasure was the curving of the
hands and then striking them hard
against each other.
AT times, however, there was an occa.
sion when even these methods of testi-
flying approval would be insufficient to
express the popular delight. 1t became
the custom on every such occasion for all
persons in the audience to applaud by
waving corner Of their togas or robes
in the direction Of the stage. The peo-
pie Of the lower class in Rome were not
privileged to wear togas, but the Emper.
or Aureian permitted them whenever
they went to theater to carry a piece
Of cloth, SO that if the play proved an
extraordinary success they might be able
to testify their approval in the recogniz
ed fashion. Times Herald
