273.
[96] THE STAGE OF SHAKESPEARE that? Some years ago an architect who was recon- structing from the old contracts for the Fortune and the Hope an Elizabethan theatre suggested to the writer that the second of the huts seen in the print of the later Globe must at least in part have overhung the upper stage, and that consequently it would have been per- fectly easy to lower from the hut any backing desired for that upper stage. In three performances at Har- vard University a painted cloth has
...been dropped into this upper gallery. Of course this was done with full recognition of the fact that, though ''painted cloths,*' ''frames," and "citties" are common enough in the Accounts of the Revels at Court, the instances already cited are the only ones occurring in Henslowe^s Diary, our only satisfactory record of the properties of an Elizabethan theatre. Yet the results in Epicosne, in Hamlet, and in Ralegh in Guiana, a play in imitation of the Elizabethan manner, were such as to leave any fair-minded observer more than ever doubtful whether the dramatist of Shakespeare's day could have missed the chance a painted cloth in the upper stage at times gave him.
