Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of the English Stage or Their Majesties Servants, Vol. 1 The period of the origin of the drama is an unsettled question, but it has been fixed at an early date, if we may accept the theory of a recent writer, who suggests that Moses described the Creation from a visionary pictorial representation, which occupied seven days, from the commencement to the close of the spectacle! Among the most remote of the Chinese traditions, the theatre holds a conspicuous place. In Cochin-China, there is at this day a most primitive character about actors, authors, and audience. The governor of the district enjoys the least rude seat in the sylvan theatre; he directs the applause by tapping with his fingers on a little drum, and as, at this signal, his secretaries fling strings full of cash on to the stage, the performance suffers from continual interruption.
