Swinburne never was a playgoer. Mr. Watts- Dunton still takes, as may be seen in his sonnet to Ellen Terry, which I shall quote, a deep interest in the acted drama and in the acting profession, although of late years he has not been much seen at the theatres. When, after a while, he and Minto were at work on the * Examiner ' Mr. Watts-Dunton occasionally, although I think rarely, wrote a theatrical critique for that paper. The only one I have had an opportunity of reading is upon Miss Neilson —... ^not the Miss Julia Neilson who is so much admired in our day ; but the powerful, dark-eyed creole-looking beauty, Lilian Adelaide Neilson, who, after being a mill-hand and a barmaid, became a famous tragedian, and made a great impression in Juliet, and in impassioned poetical parts of that kind. The play in which she appeared on that occasion was a play by Tom Taylor, called * Anne 117 ii8 The Acted Drama Boleyn,' in which Miss Neilson took the part of the heroine. It was given at the Haymarket in Feb- ruary 1876.
