Ten Male Figures.
This tableau is a representation of the interior of a firemen's hall.
The walls are hung with engravings in rich frames, most of them
referring to the fireman's life. The name of the company, in large
gilt letters, is placed at the end of the stage. Settees are arranged
around the sides; a mahogany table is in the centre, on which is
placed a large solar lamp. Seated at the table are half a dozen
firemen, dressed in their uniform; these are engaged in reading the
news of the day; others are reclining and sitting on the settees,
engaged in conversation and smoking. The light for the piece should be
of medium brightness, and come from either side of the stage. Music of
a secular character.
