The Drama.
THE DRAMA .
The Dramatic College Fete at the Alexandra Palace—The Lady of Lyons at the Globe Theatre . THE Dramatic College F 6 te , on Saturday last , was in some respects a great disappointment . From a pecuniary point of view the result was , no doubt , a success ; but we were sorry to see that so few leading members of the profession wero present , and that some most objectionable features of the old fetes were still prominent . Mrs .
Stirling , always prominent in any enterprise for the good of her fellow artists , once more lurked in her charming robber ' s cave , over which was inscribed : " Abandon cash all ye who enter here , " an in « junction which she tried hard to be carried out to the letter . Signor Salvini recited passages from Alfieri ' s tragedy of Said with all his well-known force and fervour : Mr . H . Paulton officiated as
showman to a wonderful aquarium , which included , amongst its attractions , that renowned sea-serpent of which so much has been heard and so little seen . This aquarium far surpassed its prototype at Brighton , in tho oddity , if not in the number of its occupants . Mrs . Howard Paul gave her really good imitations of Mr . Sims Reeves . Selections were played from "OurBoys , "
" The Ticket of Leave Man , " " Patient Penelope , " and " Nicholas Nickleby . " Richardson ' s Show was there , in which was performed an extraordinary drama , involving more dagger , blood and thunder , than were ever before seen on any stage . In fact the attractions of tho fete were numberless , but " the trail of the serpent" was there also . It was not necessary , in the interest of a genuine charity , that a
second-rateburlesque actress should selltogentlemen , with more money than brains , a strawberry , which she had bitten , or a flower , which she had kissed , at the rate of half-a-guineaeach . The dramatic profession is more subject to imputation than any Other , and it was performances of this kind which threw discredit on the fetes at tho Crystal Palace , and caused them , eventually , to become resorts for many ladies of
questionable character , and for some about whose character there could not be any question at all . Miss Lottie Wilmot , with what may be called a scratch company , is now playing Tlie Lady of Lyons at tho Globe . The literary merit of Lord Lytton ' s play will always ensure for it a certain amount of favour in spite of its forced sentiment and its clap-trap ; but we do not think that any peculiar interest is added to this occasion of its
production by the brilliancy of the acting . Mr . John Nelson ' s is hardly the first name which would occur to us in seeking for a Claude Melnotte : Mr . Mclntyro is a very heavy villain as Beauseant , and Mr . T . Mead , who plays Colonel Dumas , has hardly yet recovered from his ghostly experiences at the Lyceum . Miss Wilmot is a pretty and intelligent actress , but her physical powers hardly enable her to cope with such a part as Pauline , which requires great command of force and passion .
New Masonic Hall, Parsonstown.
NEW MASONIC HALL , PARSONSTOWN .
THIS new hall has been dedicated and opened during last month . It is for the use of the brethren of St . Brendon ' s Lodge , 163 . According to the local papers , some eight months since tho committee obtained possession of a house in William Street , and having removed the top floor and all the partitions , found at their disposal a room which measured about 31 ft . long by 17 ft . wide , and 15 ft . high to the braces of the roof . They then instructed Mr . A . B . Milne , C . E .,
to prepare plans for its conversion into a hall suitable for the meeting of their Ancient Order , and under his direction and superintendence the various works have been carried out . Throughout the whole there has been an endeavour to keep to the medieval spirit which caused all work to exhibit its construction , and to make tho constructive features ornamental—not to hide any work or
material , but to let it tell its own story of its quality and use . All the exposed woodwork , as the ribs , consoles , pilasters , door and door , case , are simply stained and varnished , thus showing out the natural grain and beauties of tho timber , while machine mouldings stuck on , and all imitations of any kind have been carefully avoided . Under the supervision of Mr . R . J . Sheppard , the Secretary of the Building Committee , the Masonic details were carried out . The ribs
consoles , and entire gasfitting and heating arrangements were sup . plied by Messrs . Wallace and Co ., of Wilmer-road ; Messrs . Brooks , Thomas and Co ., Dublin , execnted the painting and decorating , attended to by Mr . Morris ; and the carpentry and joinery , inclusive of benches and chairs , was the work of Messrs , Carroll and Dillon , all of which , we are informed , was satisfactorily executed . — Irish Builder , 1 st July 1875 .
