Costumes.
The costumes of this play are all “of the day” except the make-up of Rogers and Vance in the mountains, Act II. These are: Brown coarse overalls and blouse or roundabout. (Blue will answer, but is not right.) Cartridge belt when worn is heavy and full of cartridges; slouch hats, black or white, to taste; very heavy boots (not shoes), very dusty; overalls may be in boot tops or not; for variety, one each way will do. Vance may have very long whiskers or stubble. Pay Streak is more juvenile and may be shaven. Face very brown. Clothing greasy and smeared with clay.
