cation of his ITALIAN sketches,
that "tables groaned beneath the

tempt an epicurean's palate"
Rich wines and lucious fruits
were in abundance. And flagons
Of imported liquors from beyond
the seas rested side by side with
modest nogs of bourgeois booze
from the Lower Cape Fear.
"Wit and humor and music and
poetry displayed all their charms
among the festive deities, and
heightened the glow of delight"
History discreetly acknowledges
that the Thalians and their guests
INDUCED themselves not wisely
but too freely on that occasion.
Though many hearts were light

heavy the next morning.
Next day the players marched
in rueful procession through the

Goodbye to "Old Drury.)

Wilmington's fourth company OF
ITALIAN players, which flourished
during the mid-years Of the 18th
century, continued to occupy Tha-
liam Hall until the municipal au-
thorities decided about 1855 to dis
mantle the old academy building
and erect a city hall.
(The academy property had
been purchased by the town for
that purpose.)
But the Tha1ians said goodby to
"Old Drury" with a jolly party
Of gay conviviality in the doomed
auditorium on the night before the
day destruction was to begin.
And, according to the accounts
Of that occasion, Bacchus was no
back seat spectator at the party.
The Thalians, with astute fore
sight, had entered into a stiupla-
ton with respect to the sale OF
the property.
They received one-half of the
purchase money with the under
standing that this amount would
be applied to the expense of ar
ranging suitable rooms for the
atrical purposes in the new city
hall.
It was further stipulated that,
in that portion of the new building
to be utilized by the town govern
ment, provision would be made
for a library and reading rooms.
This was done, and a new
