ACADEMY OF Music What he Zouapes mean III
do.-since the announcement Of the zouayes to
open at the Academy of Music, (their first appear
anee being to-nighD the question as to what they
intend to do, has been frequently asked. Rya
glance at some of their programmes AMI their an
terior history, we find that during the Crimean
war there were frequent tedious periods Of mac
tiVity, whilst preparing for some grand movement,
and that these long intervals Of repose were found
| to have demoralizing effect upon the vast body
-
the different forts, POSITIONS etc. To ohvate this as
much as possible all kinds of amusement available
were gotten up by the officers and men to eniivsn
the bigonac, or amuse tie warriors in the beafeg
| ing trenches; in truth, to make " grim aisaged
war; wear smile if possible. Hence the CON
| struction of a rnde theater at Inkermaun The
officers Of the Zouayes wrote the bills the original
manuscript Of which may be seen at the box office
of the theater; some of the men painted scenery
| or patched up wardrobe, others studied the parts
Ito be enacted; and thus in the midst of carnage
during the actions of the bloodest battles on re-
| cord, was established one of the recognized en-
joyments Of tranquil life: and, as we understand
it, these very Zouayes who were among the origi-
| nators Of the theater at Inkermann. and principal
actors therein, intend to reproduce the pieces
played by them at that time. including the roman
tic and thrilling occurrences which were necessa-
rily incident to period when the boz office was
| liable at any moment to be closed with o bomb
and the actors obliged to throw away fhe harle-
| quin garb of the comic muse to don the sor.b1e
| habiliments Of and tragedy. The front of the
stagewill be made to assume the appearance OF the
rude structure before Sebastopol, and we shall ae-
cordngly witness an exact representation OF that
novel idea, theater on the battle field. a glance
at the advertised programme will show what the
Zouaves intend doing tonight.
