"BLOT ON THE 'SCUTCHEON"
ILLUSTRATES VICTORIAN ERA
In the exhibit which was installed
in the corridor of the Library on Sat-
urday is shown a new phase of the
Library's. resources in the line of dra-
matic literature. The exhibition is
devoted to the drama of England and
America during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, thus supplement-
ing the exhibit of the past three weeks
of sixteenth and eighteenth century
plays.
The first case shows dramas by
some of the great literary lights of
the early nineteenth century-Byron,
Shelley, Coleridge, and Landor-
dramas which were intended for
reading rather than acting. There is
shown also, however, a typical com-
edy of the period, Douglas Jerrold's
"Beau Nash," which enjoyed great
popularity on the stage, with the fa-
mous William Farren in the title role.
Victorian Era Illustrated
Several types of plays serve to il-
lustrate the Victorian era, the rarest
of which is the first edition of Brown-
ing's "Bolt on the 'Scutcheon," a small
pamphlet constituting a part of the
series of dramas and dramatic lyrics
known as "Bells and Pomegranates."
In the same section is a little-known
play by Dickens, "The Lamplighter,"
as well as two early dramatizations
of his novels. Tennyson's dramatic
work is shown in the first edition of
"Becket," and of "The Foresters,"
which was printed in America for Au-
gustin Daly before it appeared in
England. There is also a scare pri-
vately-printed play by Sir Henry Ar-
thur Jones, "A Drive in June," with
an explanation in his own writing of
how he happened to change the title
after the play wa in print; and a
companion-piece to this is a prompt-
book from the Garrick theatre, Lon-
don, of Pinero's "The Profligate,"
with notes in the author's hand.
English Plays Displayed
Plays by Shaw, Phillips, Barrie, and
Galsworthy, among others, illustrate
the more modern British dramatists,
and the Irish theatre is represented
by Lady Gregory, Synge, Yeats, and
Dunsany.
In the section devoted to American
drama are reprints of the first two
plays ever performed professionally
in this country-Royall Tyler's "The
Contrast," 1787, and William Dunlap's
"The Father;" 1789. A small pamphlet
not over five inches tall-John How-
ard .Payne's "Clari; or, "The Maid
of Milan," 1823, contains the first
printing of "Home, Sweet Home,"
which was written as a song to be
sung by the heroine in the middle of
the play.
Shows Later Development
Two cases are devoted to illustra-
tions of the Little Theatre movement
in America, and one to dramatic pe-
riodicals,. showing their development
during the last century, from the se-
verely simple "Covent Garden Jour-
nal" of 1810 to the elaborately illus-
trated "Theatre" and "Theatre Arts
Magazine" of a hundred years later.
