HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE' JULLIKN'S ANNUAL BAL MASQUE, MONDAY, December 22, iss6. M. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that hie GRAND ANNUAL SAG MASQUE will, this year, take place at HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE, on MONDAY, DECEMBER 22nd. Under ordinary circumstances, M. Junntax would have felt that the patronage hitherto bestowed on his Annual En: ertain ment, and the general satisfaction evinced on every occasion, rendered it unnecessary for him to add one word to the mere announcement of the Ball. A recent event, however, makes it imperative on him to draw the attention of his kind Patrons to the fact, that after seventeen years of constant labour and care, he has succeeded in transforming the trivial entertainment, formerly known as the " Masquerade," into the magnificent FETE of the BAL MASQUE ; and in placing it on a level with those given in the largest establishments of Europe—at the Academie Imperinle of Paris, the Imperial Theatres of St. Petersburg and Vienna, and the Theatres Royal of Berlin— Fetes which the Sovereigns of those capitals do not disdain to honour with their presence. Having thus rsised the character of these entertainments. M. JULLTEN is satisfied that the Public will not hold him responsible for the ill-directed efforts of plagiarists and imitators. M. JULLIEN'A Bel Masque will be given this year with the same splendour as before, and will take place at tier Majesty's Theatre—an establishment already famous for the magnificent Balls which have, under the moat distinguished patronage, been given within its walls. M. Junnten feels confident that this, his Seventeenth Bat Masque in England, will, for brilliancy and splendour, have never been excelled. The Orchestra will comprise One Hundred and Ten Musicians. Principal cornets-aTiatous, Herr Koenig and M. Duhem. Con ductor, M. Jullien. The newest and most fashionable Music will be played, in cluding several new Polkas, Waltzes, and Quadrilles, composed expressly by M..Tullien for his Concerts and for this occasion. The Dances will be regulated by Fourteen Maitres nes Cere monies, whose arrangements will be strictly carried out. No one will be admitted except. in Evening Dress or Fancy Costume. The whole Theatre will be ornamented by a new and superb decoration. Mr. NATHAN, of Castle Street, Leicester Square, has teen ap• pointed Costumier to the Bal. Tickets for the Ball, 10s. Cd.
