Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 27-28 March 1842:
'Do you know how Mr Macready has been attacked for trying [...] to suppress [italics]the
saloons[end italics] [...] and how it has been declared that no theatre can exist at the present
day without a saloon -- & how, if it could, the effect wd be to force vicious persons & their
indecencies into full view in the boxes --!! Now this appears to me enough to constitute a
repulsive objection! & I who have read hard at the old dramatists since I last spoke to you
about them, -- Beaumont & Fletcher Massinger Ben Jonson all Dodsley's collection, -- can yet
see that objection in all its repulsiveness! .. & read on!'
