Excerpt from A Bunch of Roses
Costumes.
Mrs. Rose. Old-fashioned dress; big bonnet; faded cotton umbrella; bandbox, etc.
A Bunch of Roses. Light summer dresses of a fashion three or four years old, trimmed and ruffled with colors. Funny bonnets, with gay strings tied under chin, and completely covered with roses (paper roses can be used). Hand-bags and fancy work. Small parasols such as children use. Hair in cork-screw curls or hanging down back. Don't try to look "pretty," but let everything be decidedly burlesque.
Sally Sparks. Short dress; gingham pinafore; hair in two braids to stick out behind ears.
Matilda Jane. Calico dress; apron.
Melvin Melrose. Summer bicycle or outing suit; straw hat; négligé shirt, etc.
The Rose-Buds. Short dresses; pantalettes; funny, outlandish hats. They should be very awkward, and chew gum constantly.
Scene.
The scene is supposed to represent the parlor of a country boarding house. About three feet in front of the rear wall hang two curtains to extend across the platform, leaving an opening, in the centre, of three or four feet. Behind this centre opening, hang a black cloth against the wall to form a backing for the pictures. Place curtains or screens at the sides of the platform, leaving spaces at the rear to serve as entrances, right and left. 3 chairs R. and 3 chairs I.., up stage. 1 chair R. and 1 chair I.., down stage. If there is sufficient space, a table back of chair L. Other furniture to dress the stage, as may be convenient. If the piece is represented on a regular stage, set a plain room scene in the same manner.
Abbreviations.
In observing, the actors are supposed to face the audience. R. means right; L., left; C, centre, up stage, toward the rear; down stage, toward the audience.
