Excerpt from The Assasin: A Tragedy in Four Acts

From the windows in the flies at the right come the strains of martial music and the noise of a procession passing, shouts, applause, etc. First faint, then coming nearer. A call boy rushes in and shouts to the dressing rooms, The Emperor! The Emperor! This way!' and then rushes back, right. Immediately a crowd of actors half made -up, arid dressed in Greek costume, come out pell-mell, and run to the right flies. Their cheers can be heard as the procession passes under the windows.

The music suddenly 'grows faint, and then comes in strong again from the windows on the left as the pro cession has rounded the corner. Whereupon, the actors dash madly across the stage to the left flies. They are waving their tunics, scarfs, anything, and shrieking in a frenzy of enthusiasm, The Emperor! Viva! Viva! The Emperor!' Cheers and music then on the left, gradually dying away. Finally the actors return to their dressing rooms in a limp and panting condition but ex claiming with wonder and delight. As they retire, Joe, the property man, and Harold May, his nephew from the ranchos, are left on the stage. Joe is middle-aged, blonde, a bit of a philosopher: Harold is also blonde, but a handsome giant on fire with the ideals of youth and at present pale with suppressed enthusiasm. Joe, with a shrug of patience, begins picking up and put ing together some of the damaged properties strewn on the stage in the recent flight across it.
