TRANSFORMED GROWN-UPS--Three boys and two girls: the smallest and
fattest boy, representing Santa Claus, should be dressed in white with
red bow necktie and red stockings, the others in ordinary children's
clothes.




Scenery And Scenic Effects


The same scene continues throughout the play, with slight changes in
the furnishings.

The fire-place must be an imitation one as the transformation in the
last scene requires this means of exit and entrance, from under the
table. A very effective fire for the first scene can be produced by
means of an electric fan pointed upward and strips of bright red and
yellow paper fastened to the back of a log set on the andirons: and it
can, of course, be made to die down at will. In the second scene an
electric light behind red paper will give the glow of a dying fire.

There should be two doors, one on each side of the stage.

The wood box and the clothes basket stand close against the wall, one
on each side of the stage near the front. The back of each is open,
and the sections of scenery back of them have corresponding holes, so
that the brownies and fairies freely make their entrance and exits
