Birth of the Theater.
ron, the Chicago Examiner.

From the Chicago FXdulIHer
The theater is the creation of the an
cient Greeks. The drama. in the true
sense of the word. was born In Athens
Immediately after the great victory over
the Persians. B. c. 30O-4s0. The famous
Dionysiac theater at Athens was COM
pleted about 3. c. $40. Rome was never
much on the theater. In Rome there was
far too much real tragedy every day. so
that the people had no occasion to mimic
1t on the stage. 1t was as late as B. c.
154 when the first permanent playhouse
was erected in Rome by Cassius. Even
as late B. c. J5 Pompey had all he
could do TO make the theater popular in
the Eternal City.
