“No. 1:
“Sampson, Gregory, Abram, Balthasar, Benvolio, Tybalt, Montague, Capulet, Supers, etc. First act; everybody up to begin!”
Thus is the call-boy’s plot made out, and opposite each name is placed the properties used by that person.
At the final rehearsal all these properties are used, and the calls made just as at night. In making out a call-boy’s plot make as follows: If there be but one call during each act, place the word “act” after call; if for one scene, the word “scene;” if the person called makes an exit and reappears, put “twice” after his name, thus:
| CALL. | FIRST ACT. | PROPS. | TIME. |
| No. 1 | Count Rolando | Knife | Act. |
| “ | Lady Maude | Will | 2d. |
| “ | Supers | Loaded Gun | Act. |
| “ | Marian | Pistol | Scene. |
| “ | Juan | —— | 2d. |
| “ | Henry | Purse | “ |
| “ | Claude | Purse | Act |
| “ | Harold | Written Letter | “ |
