a paper box 10 or 11 inches square –
with paper poppets – (about a dozen
or more) which you can carry by a wire
and there are stands to hold them
up. when you wish them to be still.
there is a curtain - and back and
side scenes. and a play book from
which to read their parts
Mother wishes me to have this.
