ed to attack, an orderly handed him a
message. AS he was reading it a
German shell burst near by. The

he pushed them away.

In 1852 the first theater in the
United States was opened in the col
ony OF Virginia at old Williamsburg
The originator was an English actor,
William Hallam, Sr., who brought his
own company from over seas and pre-
sented The Merchant of Venice as
the initial performance. The idea
spread rapidly and soon New York.
Philadelphia and the other leading
communities of colonial America each
had its theater While the Virginia
playhouse was the first in the United
states, actors had PLAYED in the col
ouies before this date The first is
said 10 have been. the English stro.-
ing player. Anthony Aston. who was
known as Mat Medley. The actor
and his arr of that days were gen
orally despised by the Puritanlcal
colonIsts. The Massachusetts iegisla-
ture passed a law shortly after anna
tuers had given The Orphans" at
the Coffee House g. Boston in 1749
which forbade such performances. pre-
scribing penalty FOR actors and
spectators alike of $25 each.
