Excerpt from Freddie Goes to College
The scene is laid in an ordinary "room with bath" in a fireproof modem hotel. The furniture is mahogany except the bed, which is brass, and the carpet and the walls are done in blue. There is a door L., opening into the hall, and another at the L. of the back, up stage, opening into the bath room. To the R. back, up stage, is a practicable window, opening upon the street. This window has a shade and white lace curtains. To the R. is a door opening into a closet. At the C. back is the brass bed, the foot facing the audience, below which is a suit-case rack. To the L., down stage, from the door opening into the hall is a regular hotel writing desk patented), with small chair in front of it. The desk has a drawer that pulls out, on which is a lid that can be raised up. There are pens, several varieties of stationery, telegraph blanks, ink, a penholder, blotter, etc. To the R., almost opposite the desk, but a little farther up stage, is the dresser. Upon it is the match holder with safety matches, the Bible "placed, in this hotel by the Gideons," a pincushion with pins, needles, thread, a pants button, a pearl button or two, etc. At the window R., up stage, is a rocking-chair. To the other side of the window is a costumer. The shade at the window is drawn down. Over the bed is a picture of some scene from Shakespeare. On the writing desk is a picture of an old-fashioned New England home at twilight the windows ablaze and a sleigh drawing up.
