THE DOLLS THEATRE BY PATTEN BEARD I made a lovely theater for little dolls you would like, I 11 tell you how. You make it in this way:Right on the bottom of a box, a pasteboard box you know,You draw a square with space each side. That s where the stage should go. Now cut the square right at the top and cut it down each the base, you bend it in. It cannot be deniedThis makes a really truly stage ! For scenery you useSome pretty colored postal cards of houses, and some put these in, you cut a slit upon the boxs top,And, through a wider one in front, the dolls, on threads, you must be just above the stage and wide and long, you actor dolls, held in the wings, can enter You move the thread and walk them round. Mine act all kinds of things:The fairy stories that I know; my sailor doll, here, you can use the theater for fun in lots of ways-Give lectures on the postal views as well as acting plays. 836
