It Is the third time theft the famous playhouse has been on fire slnoe the first structure was erected by KUllgrew in 1J. Drury Lane has played an important part In the history of the English drama since the reign of Elisabeth. It was one of the houses known as private theatres in Elisabethan davs and was called the Cock-Fit or the Phoenix. It was roofed over and was one of the few theatres In which performances were given' summer and winter. The stage was Illuminated by tallow candles. Pepy's speaks of the new building which was oeing constructed in covent war den. . SeboUt in 1673. It was destroyed bv flr in lf!72 and rebuilt by-- Sir Chrlstonher Wren In 1874.
