_Aristophanes on the Modern Stage._--Can any of your valuable

correspondents inform me whether any of the plays of Aristophanes have been

produced upon the stage in a modern version; and if so, when, and by whom?

I am inclined to think that some at least of the comedies in the hands of a

skilful author might be made entertaining and popular.

The _Acharnians_ and _Peace_, or perhaps even the _Birds_, might form the

groundwork of an amusing piece. Should you be able to spare a corner in

your valuable periodical for this Query, you would greatly oblige
