The walls are covered with masks, wigs, false beards, hats and costumes of different patterns and periods. In the centre of the room, near the windows, is a large table covered with boxes of greasepaint, mirrors and paintbrushes. It is here that the actors make up. During the show this room is a busy place. All the actors are united here. Some, fully dressed, stand ready to go on; or walk backwards and for wards patiently awaiting their turn. Others who have finished for the evening come off, r...emove their make-up and undress. Others again are making up for female parts, or are painting their faces as warriors or traitors, or for comic parts. Nothing can be more fascinating than to watch the proceedings. First one sees faces only half painted, figures from mythology dressed in everyday clothes, extraor- dinary beings with womens' heads and hair, but dressed as men. Gradually the faces disappear under coats of paint, and the original sex is com- pletely disguised. Here, where the whole company gathers together, the actors are subjected to a very severe discipline.
