SCENE 1. A basement apartment on a Saturday afternoon about
one o'clock, Fall, 1935.

SCENE 2. Stanley Prescott's office, later the same day.


ACT II

The same as ACT I, SCENE 1.
About 6 P. M., Spring, 1936.


ACT III

The same. About 10 P. M.

This play can be produced without using Scene 2, Act I at all, and
has been so produced by both Federal Theatres and nonprofessionals.
This reduces the settings required to one. In case this scene is
not played, then of course the characters Lucille Brown and Stanley
Prescott are also omitted. The omission of this scene requires no
alteration of the lines or action of any other part of the play.
