The Curtain Theatre in Holywell street — or Halliwell street, as it was usually spelt at that time — Shoreditch Fields* had also fallen into disuse before the reign of Charles I. The Globe on the Bankside, and the [Red] Bull Theatre at the upper end of St. John's street, Clerkenwell were employed until after the restoration. The allusion to the Waterman carrying " bonny lasses over to the plays, " is also a curious note of time. With these matters before us, we may safely conclude that " Turner...'s Dish of Stuff" is but a reprint of an earlier pro- duction. As we find it, so we lay it before our readers : thus : — * The Curtain Road, now notorious for cheap and shoddy furniture, still marks the site of the Curtain Theatre ; at the same date there was another playhouse in the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, distinguished as " The Theatre, " where the Chamberlain's Company had settled.
