Show The recent crowding of the Theater, especially during the appearance of DAVENroRT, suggests the most panicky kind of thoughts as to the fate of the mass of men and women, the thousands strung around and snugged into those galleries aud balconies, in case some stampede should be started, by a fire in the staging, or some other exciting cause. The means of exit are utterly inadequate. The stairways leading from the upper galleries are extremely narrow. A great crowd cannot get out in less than a quarter of an hour.
