The Shadow Show
Now here is something rather interesting. You will need to follow the directions very carefully to obtain the best effects. A white sheet must be drawn completely across, one end of the room, as in the illustration, while near the opposite wall three boxes of varying heights should be arranged as A.B.C. in the picture, a candle or some other light being placed upon the middle one. There should be no other light in the room, upon either side of the screen.
When the performer enters by the door D, his shadow is thrown upon the screen in a natural "size, but as he retires from the screen and approaches the candle,. his shadow increases to enormous dimensions, and very funny effects may be nrodnced
A couple of performers may have a fight, the one near the candle apparently being of gigantic statue, while the other, close to the screen is of ordinary build.
