Two rows of galleries, one above the other
along the sides; the upper row is divided into
boxes. No seats in the pit, which is the stage of
the theatre; at the back of this pit, that is to say
on the right foreground, a few benches, and under
a staircase leading to the upper seats, and of
which only the beginning is to be seen, a sort of
refreshment table decorated with candelabra, vases
of flowers, crystal glasses, plates of cakes, bottles,
etc.

At the back of the stage, in the middle, under
the gallery of boxes, the entrance to the theatre.
A large door, opening part way to let in the
spectators. On the door, as well as in several
corners, and above the refreshment table, red
posters announcing : "La Clorise."

When the curtain rises the hall is dimly lighted
and empty. The chandeliers are lowered in the
centre of the pit, ready to be illuminated.
