A Soliloquy.
Tragedian. "Cheap. Ha, ha! Why in my time they threw them at us!"
"Well, papa, how did you enjoy the play to-night?"
"Oh, I think I enjoyed it fairly well, my dear. I've got a general sort of idea that I didn't go to sleep over it!"
Enthusiastic Lady Amateur. "Oh, what a pity! We've just missed the first act!"
Languid Friend. "Have we? Ah—rather glad. I always think the chief pleasure of going to a theatre is trying to make out what the first act was about!"
Theatrical.—When it is announced that an actor will be supported by the entire company, it is not thereby meant that the said professional is sustained in his arduous part solely by draughts of Barclay, Perkins and Co.

Good "Piece" of Furniture for Theatrical Managers.—A chest of "drawers."
Regeneration of the British Drama.—There are at this moment three English managers in Paris "in search of novelty!" More: three distinguished members of the Dramatic Authors' Society started for France last night.
"As Good as a Play."—Performing a funeral.

The Dramatic Author's Playground.—Paris.
Theatrical Note.—Net profits are generally the result of a good "cast."
