The Elizabethan Playhouse #264452

It is my purpose to set before you, this evening, the localities of the chief theatres of the London of Shakespeare; to describe how they developed from the Inn Yards, previously used for theatrical purposes; and to explain somewhat the nature and con struction of these old playhouses. All of the slides, save the diagrams of construction and the reconstructed Elizabethan play houses, are derived from contemporary maps, prints or sketches, and have, therefore, the value and sanction of documents. The material is, all of it, thoroughly well-known and authentic.
