What reading level is The Dramatic List a Record of the Principal Performances of Living Actors And a book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dillon's merits are limited to the one part in which he originally attracted attention. But Belphegor at the Lyceum is a different matter from Belphegor at Sadler's Wells. The difference is not in Mr.
Dillon, who continues to bestow the most praiseworthy diligence on the performance, but in the audience. To the people of Islington the domestic anguish of the poor mountebank seemed to open up a fresh chapter in human suffering. It was all new and strange, and terribly affecting to them ; and sei...zing impetuously upon every outbreak of emotion, they com- municated their own excitement to the actor, and so kept him at the height of his enthusiasm throughout. Now there is nothing of this kind at the Lyceum. The Strand audience, more reserved and critical, suspend their sympathy till Belphegor wrings it from them by reiterated appeals. They take nothing for granted. They let you understand plainly that they are fatally familiar with the piece, and that, superior to the passion of the scene, they are sitting in judgment upon the actor, and comparing him, point by point, with his predecessors.
