THE LINGARDS.
lo the Editor of the Globe. Sir,—l am sure every member of the audience that had assembled to witness “Sweethearts” last night at Mr Lingard’a benefit must have been more or less annoyed at the moat inopportune interruption on the part of the gentleman in front row of the stalls who wished to (and did) parade his appreciation (?) of the performance, by letting everyone know he had a bouquet to present to Mrs Lingard. That anyone should have so little consideration for the actress herself, and for those who can appreciate talent in silence, seems as impossible to credit, as it is to believe that the gentleman in question came for any other purpose than to create a sensation. He waited until the action of the play had reached the most pathetic part, and then, just as the situation was beginning to tell with the audience, the whole picture was destroyed, and the actress herself made to suddenly cease her impersonation of Jenny Northcott, to become Mrs Lingard, for the space of two minutes, to suit this gentle* man’s convenience, I enclose my card, and, trusting you will insert this, allow me to sign myself ONE WHO CAN APPRECIATE IN SILENCE.
