Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Description of Henry´s Comic Menagerie: With Full Instructions for Presenting This Humorous, Entertainment, Suggestions Toward, Making It Profitable, and a Humorous Lecture, to Be Employed in Its Exhibition This novel entertainment is especially designed for the use of Church Fairs, though its character and its efficiency as a money-getter fit it admirably for the purposes of any large entertainment conducted for profit. It is intended to be employed as a side-attraction at Fairs, to which an additional admission fee of ten cents may be charged, and through which an addition of from thirty to one hundred dollars per night, or even more, according to the size of the enterprise and its attendance, may be easily added to the receipts. The outfit, which is leased to persons desiring to employ it for one or more nights, consists of a handsomely painted piece of scenery, representing two tents and three animal cages, as depicted in the cut upon the opposite page, and papier mache representations of five animals, modelled, colored, and covered with hair in a strikingly lifelike manner, and ingeniously constructed with working parts to closely simulate nature in many actions. The Scene requires a space twenty-eight feet long by five or six wide, and can be set up in any hall having a height of twelve feet. It is made in sections so as to take apart and pack for shipment in very compact form, but it can be set up by any one of ordinary handiness and mechanical skill without the least difficulty. The animals, five in number, are only visible from the front of the cages. Each one is endowed with life by a man or boy who stands behind the Scene with his person concealed from the waist down, and his body and arms in the head and paws or other limbs of the animal.
