The box visitors are admitted through the portico into a small entrance-hall, leading by a handsome flight of stone steps into a compact vestibule adjoining the dress-circle, from whence two circular stone staircases ascend to the upper boxes, and to the saloon, which is in front of the building. The interior of this theatre much resembles the theatre of the Palace * For the informatioa of some readers, it may be requisite to mention that in most cases, the internal fittings of a theatre are ej...:ecated long before the walls are raised. The St. James's decorations are in the first manner ; the gilding is not coarse, bat fit for drawing-room work.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE HISTORY OF LONDON. 285 of Versailles. It is decorated in the elaborate style of I^ouis Quatorze, though we suspect there to be some intermixture of the impure style of Louis XV.* The interior^ which is something less in size than the English Opera House, comprises two tiers of boxes under the gallery, with what are known as '' slips" on each side of it The dress-circle consisting of sixteen boxes, is kept considerably lower than in any other theatre, so as to place the spectator as near with the level of the stage as possible.
