Excerpt from The Magic Mirror: A Tableau Entertainment Suitable for Parlor or Church

The apparatus for this easy and effective entertainment con sists 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.
