PROFESSOR W. J. JUDD,
MAGICAL REPOSITORY,
131 HENRY ST., - - - - - - - - NEW YORK CITY.
[THE ROYAL MARIONETTES.]
Our Artist has given us Illustrations of four of the Leading Marionette Puppets. They are of peculiar construction, and differ from the Punch and Judy Troupe in that the Performer is standing over instead of beneath them. They are worked by each having five or more invisible silken cords, terminating in an instrument held in the hands of the Performer. Their feet, hands and head go through all the life-like motions of living actors. The smallest are twenty-four inches, and the largest made are forty-two inches in height. Professor Judd of New York, who manufactures and has them in stock, will give you all further information and furnish the particulars concerning their cost.
FOOTNOTES:
[1] The performer takes advantage of the time occupied in singing this song by arranging all in readiness for the grand closing scene of this act.
[2] At this point, where the show is wholly or in part paid for by voluntary contributions, one of the performers, with a basket, passes round amongst the audience and takes up the collection.
[3] This ship is mechanically constructed, so that at the desired moment it is made to show signs of becoming a wreck. The steamer is in like manner constructed, with the addition that on its reverse side it represents a sailing vessel only. For this dialogue the steamer may be wrecked in place of the sail ship.
