More Light Fingers
Mr. Coffin gave a similar story,
saying that he was shoved back
by an unknown person who in
formed him firmly that all seats
were taken. The wallet was
probably stolen at this time by
a confederate of this individual.
Neither wallet contained large
sums of money, although Mr.

Under the guidance of John
Walker of the Playmaker staff,
eight drops are now being con
structed and painted on the
stage of the theater in prepara
tion for the play which, says
Professor Harry Davis, director,
will be the largest revival, me
chanically speaking, that the
Playmakers have yet attempt
ed."
While Others Sleep
The greatest difficulty in con
structing and painting the drops
lies in 'the fact that from early
morning until late at night the
stage is in use as either a class
room or a rehearsal room, and,
since there is no place conven
iently near or large enough in
which to do the work, the crew
must hammer and paint after
the last line of the rehearsal has
been said. It is no uncommon
sight to see, at 4 o'clock in the
morning, five weary forms mak
ing their way from the Play
maker theater after a night of
work, according to Mr. Davis.
. The drops themselves are in
the summer of 1840, with pic
tures, shelves, windows, and
other decorations painted direct
ly on the walls ; they can be re
moved only with turpentine.
