·A DIBOU LARGUA The Lord Chamberlain's circnlar to thentriosi Braunger points out with suficient plainness the two directions in which the stage has of late offended against public decency. It is only very Gooasionally that there is anything to find holt with as regards the language of the pieces performed: It is often stupid and efter valir, bat as a rule it if not indecent. Unfortunately this qualified praise cannot be extended to the demeanour or to the clothing of the periermore. ladient dances and immodest dresses do no doubtedly, as Lord Hertford says, foron a prominent part.of the entertainments at some. theatres."
