Tn America it seems there are lady dramatic critics, which enables dramatic criticism to be more exact and particular apoa certain matters, Ooe of tbeui has discovered lately that a pretty and popular actress has not such good legs as she would have the public believe. I have,' says the critic,' seen her legs within three v?eefcs in * Cymbe'ioe,' lAs you Like it,' and ' Twelfth Night/ and have satisfied myself that tbey are larger in ' As You Like it,* than iv ' Cymbeline/and larger yet in * Twelfth Night.' Legs, like other cylindrical forms, look smaller when covered with black. Snpposing, for argument's safe*, the white tights of toe first play, are genuinely filled out, I judge the brown ones of the second to contain about two quarts of sawduts, and the black ones of the third not less than a peck. Such is my conscientious estimate.' It will be a very shocking thing if critics on this side of the Atlantic become so conscientious as this.
