First Sentence: One of the oddest, querest [sic] and strangest places at all times and under all circumstances, is "Behind the Scenes of a Theatre"-but that, at all times, odd place is ten times more odd than ever when they are getting ready to present to the public, and particularly to that playful, jolly part of the public, known as the children, their regular, annual Christmas Pantomime.
Last Sentence: And so ends and fades all the glory of before the stage, the instant you get behind the scenes.
