'Our Artist sends us a Drawing of the interior of the Théatre des Variétés at audience portion was magnificently ornamented with flowers, statuary, and flags pendent from the stage portion of the salle was ornamented with trelliswork, pilasters, and panels filled with Monday, the tables being removed [after the banquet], this extensive saloon was turned into a ballroom, some new decorations, including a fountain surrounded by flowers, being added. The orchestra was placed above, in the flies over the stage. The scene, having the additional attraction of the presence of ladies, was a most brilliant one'. Above the stage: 'Welcom Alle in Rubens' Stod' (Welcome all to Rubens' [studio?]). From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
