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.
