A Stew in a Studio: Or Cabbages Versus Roses; An Eccentric Comedy in Three Acts (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Stew in a Studio: Or Cabbages Versus Roses; An Eccentric Comedy in Three Acts
A panic caused by a snoring Bust, and a voice from above results in a catastrophe. Invasion by Police and arrest of the Bust and Pedestal.
Act II. - The Court-room. The Policeman's vain attempt to formulate a charge against some one - he does not know which one, - thinks it is the Bust. The Magistrate's dilemma.
Act III. - The Sheet and Pillow-case masquerade. Mistaken identity. A mix-up. The right men, but the wrong girls. Mutual - but mistaken - confidential confessions disclose the mistakes made under cross purposes, and the right men get the right girls and all is lovely.
Costumes.
Rose Madder. Acts I. and II. - Large black studio-apron, high neck and long sleeves. Act III. - Sheet-and-pillow-case drapery, over fancy-dress as "Rose"; - This may he of white organdie over red, with small red silk cap trimmed with green leaves or smilax. Or the whole costume may be made of crepe paper. Be careful that it goes well with the roses which she has to carry.
Olive Green. Act I. - Same as Rose. Act II. - Same. Act III. - Sheet-and-pillow-case over any fancy dress; but an arrangement all in green is best.
Anna Mation. Act I. - Ordinary street costume. Afterwards, any picturesque dress, 1830 or Empire style, with large bonnet. Then street costume as at first. Act II. - Same, street-costume. Act III. - Sheet-and-pillow-case over fancy dress; might be the same used when posing in Act I.
Vere de Vere Million. Acts I. and II. - Ordinary dress; or he may wear loose velvet jacket and cap, with Windsor tie. Act III. - Sheet-and-pillow-case drapery, over fancy costume, style of "Sir Walter Raleigh."
Orville E. Rich. Acts I. and II. - Ordinary dress. Act III. - Sheet-and-pillow-case drapery, over fancy dress.
Si Enna. Act I. and II. - Burlesque country costume; large hat, old-fashioned collar and very deep cuffs, spattered with daubs of paint; chin-whiskers; high boots, etc. Act III. - Sheet-and-pillow-case drapery, over fancy dress. "Uncle Sam," would be good.
Kitty Duffy. Maid's costume; - cap, apron, linen collar and cuffs.
Flynn. Police uniform.
