George Golitzen, A9 A BETWEEN THE ACTS The curtain opens and a street scene is revealed to the audience. The time is about six o'cloclc in the evening. The audience is conscious of a feeling of nightfall as the twilight slowly fades. A weary beggar shuffiingly crosses the darkening street, while faintly heard are the notes of a Hute. A sentry silently paces his beat as the curtain descends on a scene of quietude and peace. All right, fellows, everyone at your job. The stage is suddenly transformed. The scene of quiet action is changed to one of busy activity. As the boys hurry to and fro, frequent glimpses are given to the miniature stage, in order that the large stage settings may be in their proper places. Bill, put this table back a little farther. Gee, where did they hire those classy costumes. Wa1'reri, you and jimmy move the flats. Hired! Humphl Since when were they hired. They were made here by the sewing classes. Tom, fin loud stage whisperj get out of the way so Jim can set the wall up. Well, they bought the sets. You can't deny that, can you? Leon, less noise. They can hear you in the front. I sure can. We made 'em and the art classes did the paint job. Swell, aren't they P Hi there, Harry, send Jimmy up to tell Sam to be sure to throw the blue spot on this next scene instead of the white. ' You didn't see Shorty practising his part? He's a scream! Dramatics aren't what they used to be, are they? Henry, off the stage! The curtain is about to go up. The last act! The boys are still busy-engaged in putting the sets, previously used, away-getting ready for the finale and the finish-up.
