Columbine’s chair is at the actors’ right, and Pierrot’s opposite—Columbine’s hat hangs from her chair‐top. Both chairs are festooned with tissue‐paper ribbons, at least ten feet long, to be used later by the shepherds to represent their wall. These must be of such a texture as to break readily when Corydon walks through, and a prearranged transverse tear or two will assist in the prompt breakage when he does so. PROPERTIES: Two white wooden bowls, one filled with fruits and the other with confetti and paper ribbons,—one ribbon to be of cotton or silk, in order to be not too easily broken by Corydon when strangling Thyrsis Two tall white wooden goblets One artichoke nailed to a standard One flower in paper or wooden pot, the root wrapped with black crêpe paper (or use confetti) Black and white tablecloth Macaroons Boots and prompt‐book for Cothurnus (large flat black book) Also, if desired, mask of Tragedy for Cothurnus Crêpe or tissue streamers of different colors, including no red or blue, for wall. COSTUMES: PIERROT: Lavender or lilac satin, preferably a blue‐lavender. Care should be taken that the lavender does not turn pink under the stage lights. Pierrot’s costume is the conventional smock with wide trousers, with black crêpe paper rosettes on the smock, wide white tarleton ruff. Black evening pumps with black rosettes may be worn. Black silk skull‐cap. COLUMBINE: Tight black satin bodice cut very low, with straps over the shoulders, quite like the modern evening gown; very full tarleton skirts of different shades of pink and cerise, reaching to the knees; ruffled bloomers of apple‐green tarleton, the ruffles showing below the skirts; black silk stockings and black ballet slippers, laced with green. Hat of lavender crêpe paper, with streamers of gay colors—including, however, no clear red or blue. Hat should be small and very smart—not a _shepherdess_ hat. Columbine should be made up to suggest a doll. As originally interpreted she had short light hair, standing out bushily all over her head. Long hair should be rolled under to give a _bobbed_ effect, or could be arranged in obvious caricature of some extreme modern style, but must look attractive, and must be blonde. COTHURNUS: Plain toga of dull purple in some heavy, unreflecting material which will fall into large folds, lined with sombre flame‐color; a garment with large purple sleeves, of which only the sleeves were visible, was worn under the toga,—but the effect should be classical; heavy boots should be worn, as nearly as possible like the tragic Roman buskin; one end of the great toga is tied into a rough hood which covers the actor’s head; a mask may be worn, but it is often difficult to speak through, and, if desired, the actor’s face may be made up to represent a mask of Tragedy.
