KINGS AS THEATREGOERS.
The German Emperor Is the most critical of aoyal playgoers, and thinks it part of his duty to understand all the technicalities of ti»e theatre. \ The Emperor of Austria makes allowances for first-nigiht shortcomings. Hie applause has often jjuided an audience. King, Edward VII. keeps a cheerful eye on the etage, but the Prince of Wales is influenced by the pathos or humour of the scene. King Christian sits like any ordinary spectator. The King of Italy passes freqnen* remarks to his consort, as if to prove his notice of detail. The King of Portugal praises indiscriminately, probably to avoid Jealousy; while the Czar of Russia never shows the least emotion. TJie worst royal playgoer is the King of Roumania, who yawns and stares about him all the time, appearing to take next to no interest in what is going on.—From "T.A.T."
