"ENOUGH'S AS GOOD AS A FEAST."
At the déjeûner given the other day to Mr. G. V. Brooke, it was stated by the manager of Drury Lane that after the morning performance, which took place last week, the public-houses in the neighbourhood of the theatre were crowded with people, who, after seeing Othello, were refreshing themselves for the purpose of seeing The Stranger in the evening. We admit that two tragedies in one day must be rather warm work for the audience, as well as for the actors, and we do not wonder at "refreshment" being found necessary to enable the public to go through with the day's labours. Some plays are drier than others, and it would be a curious fact to ascertain how much more washing down The Stranger would require than Othello. If we were to attempt a calculation, we should say, that if Shakspeare took a bottle of sparkling Moselle, nothing short of a hogshead of heavy would be needed to make Kotzebue go down at all glibly.
