"The
best
place
for
putting
up
a
tableau
vivant
is
in
a
door-way,
with
an
equal
space
on
each
side;
or,
at
least,
some
space
on
both
sides
is
necessary;
and
if
there
is
a
room
or
a
passage
between
the
door
selected
for
the
picture
and
the
room
the
company
is
to
see
it
from,
so
much
the
better,
as
there
should
be
a
distance
of
at
least
four
yards
between
the
first
row
of
the
spectators
and
the
picture.
It
must
be
remembered
that,
while
the
tableau
is
being
shown,
nearly
all
the
lights
must
be
put
out
in
the
room
where
the
company
is
assembled;
and,
perhaps,
only
one
single
candle,
properly
placed,
in
the
intervening
space
between
the
company
and
the
tableau,
must
be
left
slightly
to
illuminate
the
frame.
In
the
above-mentioned
door-way
a
frame,
somewhat
smaller
than
the
original
picture,
must
be
suspended,
three,
four,
or
even
five
feet
from
the
floor,
as
may
suit
the
height
of
the
door;
or,
if
the
door
is
not
very
high,
the
frame
may
be
put
one
or
two
feet
behind,
to
gain
space;
but
care
must
be
taken
to
fill
up
the
opening
that
would,
in
that
case,
show
between
the
door-way
and
the
frame;
also
a
piece
of
dark
cloth
ought
to
be
put
from
the
bottom
of
the
frame
to
the
ground,
to
give
the
appearance
of
the
picture
hanging
on
the
wall.
