H rABLEAUx
About 8 O'Clock, while the orchestra was
PLAYING a selection, q bell was hoard to ring.
and all eyes were soon gazing toward the
stage. In q moment.the curtains were drawn,
and behold. there was
1.-THE PYRAMID OF BEAUTY.
and a most beautiful pyramid it was. TIT
pyramid was shaped like 3 capital A, there
being seven seats from top to bottom. Ihstop
seat was occupied by two little girls sitting
down, and one very small one standing up,
holding harp. The second seat heldthree
girls somewhat larger than the first three.
The third seat contained four, still larger,
and so on dow to the bottom seat, which
held seven or eight young ladies. 1t was
beautiful, as each individual composing 1t
was beautiful.
About fifteen minutes after the first scene,
the bell again tapped, and the curtain being
urawn, revealed
"1176 AND 1876"
No description we can give would do this
scene Justice. 1t must be seenzto be appre-
ciated. The representation was good, and
no one could decide which of the periods
was the better portrayed.
"LIGHT OF THE HARKM"
next followed, which was avery fine scene
and well represented, but lost much Of Its In
terest because most OF the audience did
not know what it was intended to represent.
..MAY QUEEN"
came next, and it needed no programme or
announcement to tell Whist 1t WAS. Every
one took 1t in at = glance.
'THK BARBER SHOP"
was also q scene from real llfs, and was as
natural as could be, except that huge razor
seemed to be more for show than for service.
taking HI VEIL"
was a scene ON the solemn order, and as 1t is
confined to the Catholic church, the rest OF
the world is not very familiar with such
things. ~. Z
THE MOUNTAIN BELL"
was on the ridiculous order. A man had his
head in u box, his body being visible, while
his ian reached up and ratified a bell. The
Bengal fire added to the mirth provoked, il
not to the scenic beauty. .
"JEPHTHAH'S RASH vow"
was q very fine representation, and was, by
many, considered the best. 1t also lost 9
great deal Of its interest by not being an
nounced. or course many knew what i,

impressive, and tho characters wer" wei
represented.
