Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Magic Mirror: A Tableau Entertainment Suitable for Parlor or Church The apparatus for this easy and effective entertainment consists of a picture frame, or an imitation of one, three feet by six, if possible, arranged with curtains that will draw aside easily. If a real picture or mirror frame cannot be found, make one out of light wood strips, and either bronze it or cover with gilt paper. If the entertainment be given upon a platform this frame will have to be masked below, above and at the sides with draperies to conceal the performers. If given in a parlor, it may be placed in the opening of a folding door. Behind the frame, at a distance of about two feet, a black screen should be placed by way of background, leaving about two feet of space. In this space the young ladies who represent the several tableaux are to stand. Use a strong lamp and reflector, if possible two, one at each side, to light up the frame. Have all other lights out back of frame. A single thickness of gauze between the picture and the audience will increase the illusion. If the entertainment is given in a church or hall the effect can be heightened by having some one draped in black, representing a magician, sitting near the frame, stirring a kettle or caldron hanging from a cross-stick frame. Place an alcohol lamp under the kettle, making a weird blue flame for the fire. In front of the frame and at one side the Reader is placed. She should read the descriptive lines slowly and distinctly, the tableaux being shown at places indicated. If desired, the Reader may be behind the frame. At the other side, in front, should be stationed the Knight or Bachelor who is in search of a wife. He should act in obedience to the sentiment of the verses, as they are read. The tableaux are represented by pretty young girls appropriately costumed. They are amply suggested by the text, and should present as attractive and beautiful a series of portraits as possible.
