While I was looking on, one or a couple of the statues, like skeletons of the same color, moved, and began to behave as though they were putting on a theatrical play. I wondered whether all the statues made like these were also mobile, and would now put on a play.
1880. There appeared as if at Upsal a theater formed consisting of statues of brown color, which were placed around in the fashion of a theater having a somewhat handsome appearance. While looking upon the scene, one or two of them, as if they had been brown colored skeletons, moved themselves, and made a beginning as if they would have instituted a theatrical play, and I wondered whether all the statues would be made thus movable and enter upon the play.
