Daytime. The Stage of a Theatre
N. B. The Comedy is without acts or scenes. The performance is
interrupted once, without the curtain being lowered, when the
manager and the chief characters withdraw to arrange the scenario.
A second interruption of the action takes place when, by mistake,
the stage hands let the curtain down.
