24 3. SPOOK MARCH. Spooks or Ghosts are costumed in pure white flowing draperies. Stage should be lighted with white light; background, ceiling and sides of stage should be draped in black.

Enter Spooks R. moaning, groaning and walking as if lost. They keep heads revolving—front, right, back, left, etc., and arms waving up and down.

When a long line is formed across stage, Spooks face audience, start back, peer forward, point fingers at audience and moan deeply.

Spooks move wildly about in circle, shake heads from side to side, wave arms out toward back, and forward again.

When Spooks see audience again they hiss and moan and move up center of stage in couples, waving arms obliquely.

Spooks move across back of stage in single file to R. and L. corners; rush groaning and moaning from these corners across to stage C, on to front corners of stage with both arms at face level pointing first R., then waving arms toward L. and so on, making awful moans.

Spooks reverse and go back, as they came, to back corners, across back, down C. to stage front, form one long line across stage and sway first R. and then L., etc. moaning and groaning as lights die out, and finishing with awful moans. [Exit —Lights turned up.]

4. WITCHES' DANCE. Music: "Tarn O'Shanter." (Sent for 50c.)

Enter eight Witches riding brooms and dancing around stage in a circle, while constant hissing is kept up as if lots of cats were present.

After Witches have completed one circle, they reverse and go around stage in opposite directions. (Stage is lighted with white light.)
