The Machinery designed by $Cabanel=, and executed by him and $Jacobs=. The Dresses and Decorations by $Johnston= and $Miss Rein=. $Powell=: [The pantomime] was astonishingly well received, except the chorus of '<i>Happy Pair</i>' at the end, which was so shamefully managed that the performers met with, what they much deserved, great disapprobation. The acting of the piece was in general well conducted, but the <i>Procession</i>v [The Piece will conclude with the <i>Entry of Alexander into Babylon</i>v, and his <i>Marriage with Statira</i>v (playbill)], for want of room to arrange behind, was unavoidably sent on in a very confused manner...Alexander's car could not be sent on this evening, not being yet complete. [These difficulties are somewhat surprising, in view of the fact that the pantomime had had 54 rehearsals. And see 13 Feb.] 11 Feb.: Chorusses to New Ballet rehearsed at 10; <i>Natural Son</i> at 11; New Ballet at 11; New Ballet (full rehearsal) at 6; 12 Feb.: New Ballet rehearsed at 12.
