Elizabeth?s frugality prevented the masque from developing in her reign. It was in frequent use, but the queen had not the special taste for it which made it prominent as an amusement of the aristocracy in the courts of Henry VIII and James I. But ?entertainments,? during the queen?s numerous progresses, were plentifully produced. The entertainment was the masque out-of-doors, and consisted of some kind of welcoming device or function arranged for greeting the queen on her arrival, or ?discovered? afterwards, as she was conducted round gardens and park. The entertainment had more dramatic possibilities in it than the masque, because it depended less upon scenery, but the English climate kept it always short and slight.

If January, 1612, be the date of Love Restored, it is important for the student of the masque. Jonson innovated again on previous practice. The masque proper is preceded not by an antimasque, but by a scene of excellent comedy. The scene is the development in a new style of the part of the presenter, and still gives to that character the larger part of the dialogue, which is in prose.

There were no court masques in the beginning of 1606 and 1607; but Jonson was a second time requisitioned for the masque of 10 January, 1608. The queen wanted the daughters of Niger again, with ?their beauties varied according to promise,? and four ladies added to their number.

When we reach the reign of Elizabeth, Spenser?s poetry, even more adequately than Hall?s prose, reflects and revives the glory of the medieval masque and pageant. His genius, in some of its most characteristic aspects, was exactly fitted to describe and appreciate the world just beyond the real world with which the masque dealt. The masque of the Seven Deadly Sins 11 and the masque of Cupid 12 are magnificent examples of the processional masque

brief. Encyclop?dia Britannica: " During the 16th century the European continental masque traveled to Tudor England, where it became a court entertainment played before the king. Gorgeous costumes, spectacular scenery with elaborate machinery to move it on- and offstage, and rich allegorical verse marked the English masque. During the reign of Elizabeth I the masque provided a vehicle for compliments paid to the queen at her palace and during her summer tours through England."

are known internationally. Juan Orta has had exhibitions at the Art Institute in Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, Brown University and many other places. Their masks are used in the State of Michoac?n for dancing. This picture depicts a miniature mask called Astucia, 2" x 2", that was awarded an artisan prize. Technique: Don Juan works primarily with wood. The first step is to carve the mask, then it is let to dry under the sun and latter is polished with sand paper. The beauty of this masks come not only from the carving but form the painting. They specialize in the creation of devil masks with serpents around the face. They also carve animal masks and miniature masks.

No difference is made by the Bamana between puppets and masks; both are called 'mask', and serve the same purpose: to represent mythical and symbolic beings through concealed human beings. The masked dancers also represent mythical animals, like Ngofariman, the Mean Chimpanzee. He is a very provocative character and dances around kicking up a (sand-)storm and approaching women in a lewd way. Taasidoonin (Think a Little), a sexy woman, dances in a rather teasing and voluptuous manner. Bilanjan, a sogo entirely made of straw, and who only may be seen at night, is a bush-spirit.
