[Screen the Light]
SCENE 4
[Castle wall appears at extreme right of stage, as viewed by the spectators. Large, strong boxes are placed behind, on which the Maiden and two rivals are to stand, in order to look out of the window or over the wall. The stepladder, folded, is laid on the floor behind the castle wall. All the appliances for the leaping Cat are in readiness, also all the articles of the Maiden’s wardrobe. Rivals and Maiden stand in shadow behind the wall. When the light is thrown on the screen, the Lover is seen in center of stage, looking up at castle.]
Lover struts about, and swells his chest.
Maiden’s head appears, and she throws a kiss, to which he responds in same manner.
Without the castle wall there stood
The lover full of pride;
And at the window o’er his head,
Appeared his lovely bride.
Gesticulates wildly.
