One Female Figure.
This simple, yet pretty tableau represents a young maiden dressed in
bridal costume, kneeling in prayer in her chamber, preparatory to her
descent to the room below, where she is to enter into the holy bonds
of matrimony. The stage furniture consists of an ornamental chamber
set, a few richly-bound books, pictures, and other articles pertaining
to a chamber. The young lady should be of good figure and features.
Costume consists of a white dress, low in the neck, and ornamented
with white flowers. The hair can be dressed to suit the performer's
taste, while a wreath of myrtle and flowers encircles the head, at the
back of which trails a long white veil. Position is, kneeling in the
centre of the stage, so that a side view can be had of the form, the
hands raised and placed together in front of the face, the head
slightly thrown back, the eyes closed, and the countenance expressing
devotion. Little light is required, which should come from the side of
the stage. Music soft and plaintive.
