[Figure 339] shows a simple setting for
A Street Scene.—The background will be made similar to [Fig. 340], and the wings N and O as shown in Figs. [341] and [342], while drop H and wing K are the same as used for the other scenes (see Figs. [332] and [335]). Wing O, the house upon the right of the stage, will be made in one piece, with window openings cut in it and covered with tissue-paper ruled to represent the window-sash (see [Fig. 341]). Show the trim around the openings and also the siding upon the building. Then fasten the back of the wing to a standard such as used for the trees (see [Fig. 336]). Wing N, or building upon the left of the stage, will require a number of pieces of cardboard to show its perspective correctly. Make the front of the building as shown in [Fig. 342]. Then fasten a piece of cardboard to edge A for the side, three pieces at_B, C, and D for the roof, and a strip across the front at E for the porch roof. The pieces can be fastened together best with strips of linen glued to their inside surfaces. The porch roof will be supported upon four posts made out of strips of cardboard as shown in [Fig. 339]. This building will be the village post-office, grocery, and hardware store combined, and should have a number of signs to this effect painted upon the front.
