SPECIAL NOTICE.—The performers in this play, especially the imps, Demons and Victims, should all have soft shoes on, to enable them to move about without noise. The Leading Imps, Common Imps aud Demons should be dressed differently, making a great distinction in appearance.The Demons take entire charge of the Victims, and should have horrid looking faces, huge eyes, etc., whilst the Common Imps should be of various appearances, some young,—like boys of ten, twelve and fifteen years,—some very old, some lame, others hump-backed, etc., yet each to look like an Imp. The Victims are the transformed performers, whose faces remain as when actors and actresses, but the Victim's dresses should be plain green suits, tightly fitting the bodies of either sex.Each Ballet Girl or Angel should have wings; but the Aerial Angels, who descend, should have the largest wings, look the prettiest aud most etherealized.
