No sooner had the curtain fallen than Mrs. Edwin and the prompter came on through the P.S. door to wrangle 1 86 Proscenium Doors: an Elizabethan Heritage over the lines that should be delivered. In her distress, after the departure of the prompter, the actress goes to the door and rings up the curtain. Then the players are discovered on the stage in confusion. Willing as they are to help, they finally decree that no epilogue shall be spoken — and, in so expressing themselves in rhyme, speak it ...! ^ This, however, was but an expiring flicker ; within a year the doors were banished from Drury Lane for ever. When the house re- opened for the season on October i6, 1822, Terry spoke an address by George Colman in which incidental reference was made to the change : Thus, then : — our Manager, who scouts the fears Of pulling on old house about his ears, Has spared of our late edifice's pride.
The outward walls, and little else beside : Look round and judge ; his efforts are all waste Unless you stamp them as a work of taste ; Nor blame him for transporting from the floors Those old offenders here — the two stage doors ; Doors which have oft with burnish'd pannels stood And golden knackers ghttering in a wood, Which on their posts, through every change remain'd Fast as Bray's Vicar, whosoever reign'd ; That served for palace, cottage, street or hall, Used for each place, and out of place in all ; Station'd, like watchmen who in lamplight sit, For all their business of the night unfit.
