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.
