Gentlemen- With due respect and humble submission I beg leave to state that I have taken the contract on the instant, the pioce chosen to be given is Fishanai Hosh-Ruba. Tho last plot of this play is taken from Shakespeare's famous play of Othello, and I stand guarantee tliat the play is a nice one and wlll be shosvn with tne best scènes and scenery. niade specially for this play, nevei think to be dtsappointed. The following srenes in this play are worth attentions ana show the experience and skill of the painter: 1. The scène of Durbar fully decorated with chandeliers and other oiture. 2. The scène of Jungle and a longbearded pious man's coming out of the moon, and animal's grazing in the Jungle and Othello's hunting one of tliem down. All these sights would be to attractive to make mention of. They depend on seeing. 3. The scène of garden with a bridge therein, and a river flowing from below. A very boautiful alght indeed. Sweet and melodious singing of the birds in the garden. The nauch party is helo in the garden, several dancing girls charming the audience with tlieir sweet songs and showing their best practice in the art of dancing. 4. Washerman's scène ■ - a rivei flowing by - two asses with a big bundie of clothes on their back - Washerman's joke with asses. A very coinic and laughable scène. 5. Tragic gs towara the close of the drama will be so effective and touching the spectators shed tears- Othello's going with a sword drawn and burying with anger near the bed of Desdemona, her appology and last words are very heart rending - her ighing and agonizing a painful sight. To be followed by a very interesting ind laughable farce of chunyan and launyan. I promise to show more than I have vritten in this program. Yours faith'ully, Shaikh Abdul Gani, Contractor.
