Blue fames, the rattling of chains, and a whith facal ghost, whose entrance was heralded by the wailing, tremulous notes of a violin, were essentials in bygone melodrama The heroes all used to rush about exclaiming. "Ha, ha!" (Laughter.) If the acting was rather inclined toward raating and roaring it was at least effec- tive. The penchant of the audiences for cracking nuts was sometimes disturbing in the death scenes, but nobody minded The East-end much. (Laughter.) theatres were generally empty when operas were on-their patrons wera professional- ly engaged in picking pockets.
Several contributors to the debate de plored the passing of melodrama, and declared that it should be revived.
