The Assasination Dramatized
in Vienna.
At Vienna you will see, a theatre is
representing .a, piece entitled, ‘‘Four
’ years of Civil War in America, or the
Death of Lincoln.” A French writer
proposes t© write a drama which shall
include the following details —enough
one would suppose for half a dozen ex*
citing dramas: He proposes first to
’ introduce Booth, senior, with his singu”
lar trait of character —the s~ene ol put”
:mg himself, in the pawn-office window;,
and that of sucking liquor through a
pipe-stem inserted in the lock of his
temporary prison. 2, Scenes in Lin->
coin's early life ; boating on the river;
the Black Hawk War. 3. The John
Brown Tragedy at Harper’s Ferry, and
appearance of Wilkes Booth at the
Charlestown gallows. 4. Lincoln Presi
dent,, .and incidents of the terrible four
years’ war. 5. The interrior of the
Surratt House at Washington * and a
meeting of the • conspirators therein. —
G T 1 ic scene of the murder at the the”
atre and at Mr. Seward's house, and the
chase after the murderers. 7. The ter”
ribic scene .at the burning barn, and the
death of Booth. 8. The magnificent
funeral and apotheosis of Lincoln.
.. The writer who recommends these
eight tableaux as the subject of a grand
drama; expressed the hope that some
master hand like that of Alexander I)us
mas,-shall take them up, so as to keep
them out of the hands of the theatrical
farseufs, and thus secure to the public
a drama worthy of the thrilling realities
on which it shall be based.
