Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report From the Select Committee on Dramatic Literature: With the Minutes of Evidence; Ordered, by the House of Commons, to Be Printed, 2 August 1832 3. Your Committee believe that the number of Theatres thus licensed (although they might be more conveniently distributed) would suffice for the accommodation of the Public, in the present state of feeling towards Theatrical Performances, and also for the general advantages of competition; at the same time, as Theatres are intended for the amusement of the Public, so Your Committee are of opinion that the Public should have a voice in the number of Theatres to be allowed. And Your Committee would therefore respectfully submit to the House, that if a Requisition, signed by a majority of the Resident Householders in any large and populous Parish or District, be presented to the Chamberlain, praying for his Licence to a new Theatre in the said Parish or District, the Chamberlain should be bound to comply with the Public wish. Your Committee are of opinion, that all abuse in the exercise of the Licence thus granted, would be effectually prevented, by leaving to the Chamberlain the power of applying to the Home Department for the summary suppression of any Theatre which may notoriously have outraged the conditions of its License, or the rules of Public decorum. 4. Your Committee would also recommend, that the Chamberlain should possess the same power for the summary suppression of any Theatre, exhibiting any sort of Dramatic Representation without the sanction of his Licence; considering, that as the Public can procure the Licence if it approve the Theatre, so any Theatre not licensed would probably not be less opposed to the desire of the Public than to the provisions of the Law. 5. With respect to the Licensing of Plays, Your Committee would advise, in order to give full weight to the responsibility of the situation, that it should be clearly understood that the office of the Censor is held at the discretion of the Lord Chamberlain, whose duty it would be to remove him, should there be any just ground for dissatisfaction as to the exercise of his functions.
