London, August 12.
When the disturbances of the theatre at Rome, in the days of
Augustus, caused several tumults, the Emperor interposed,
and pronounced the sentence of banishment on a very great
actor, for whose sake these disturbances were made. He
observed, at the same time, that the stage had a strong
tendency to disturb as well as to amuse the people. The
actor said, with great spirit, 'Tis for your interest
Caesar, they should be amused any way.
