sHERIDAN,s THEATER

When Drury Lane theater was last
destroyed by fire--the recent calamity
was the third of like kind-Sheridan,
its owner, was occupied in the COM
mons with his parliamentary duties and
his sympathetic colleagues immediately
voted the adjournment of the house
and hurried off to see the confagration.
Sheridan, himself, opposed the ADJOURN
ment but, being outvoted, went and
watched the destruction of his prop
erty from neighboring house OF re-
freshment, sharing bottle of port
with Barry. His apparent Indifference
prompted some friends to expostuIate
with him. whereupon, the author OF
.sThe School for Scandal, petulantly
observed: 1T is hard when a man can
not drink a glass of wine by his own
fire." This fire completed Sheridan's
financial downfall. and. forsaken by his
friends, he died soon after the new
theater began its checkered career
