! Candy! WISHING MAN. That's alive, too. (JIM DANDY _marches down._) Mr. Snookie Ookums, let me introduce you to Mr. Jim Dandy, a stick of candy. SNOOKUMS. Would he mind if I'd take a bite out of his leg? JIM DANDY. You bet he would. I'm alive now. WISHING MAN (_looks off at L._). And here comes Teddy Bear and Jimmy Bear. They're alive, too. And look at the Baby Elephant. _Enter_ TEDDY BEAR, JIMMY BEAR and BABY JUMBO. _The piano plays a march. All march around the stage, first the_ WISHING MAN, _then_ BLACK _and_ BABETTE, JACK _and_ ANNETTE, MACK _and_ OLIVETTE, JIM DANDY _and_ TOOTSIE, TEDDY BEAR _and_ DUMPLING, _then_ BABY JUMBO _with_ SNOOKUMS _riding on his back, then_ JIMMY BEAR _capering in the rear. March around several times. A simple folk dance may be introduced at this point. All sing two verses of "Follow Me, Full of Glee."_ CURTAIN. REMARKS ON THE PRODUCTION. The room was all in shimmering white with a background of small pine trees in large wooden pots. The floor was covered with white muslin and scattered with leaves, pine needles and cones. In one corner was a giant snow pile, made of a frame covered with cotton. This was presided over by the Snow Queen and her Maids and white-wrapped bundles were on sale for five cents. Jack Frost and his boys presided over a large tree in another corner. Small toys wrapped in white tissue paper were attached to this tree and sold for five cents. Or Santa Claus may preside at the sale. Snowballs of white popcorn and snowballs filled with candy were on sale at another booth, presided over by red and white Striped Candy Girls. Candy canes were also sold here. In the fourth corner a snow scene in the woods was depicted. A local acrobat, dressed as a Snow-man, did stunts, assisted by several boys dressed as clowns. They pelted the Snow-man with snowballs and then sold bags of white confetti. The Snow-man also ran a game where snowballs were thrown at a target. The target was a circle of black cambric, the snowballs were rubber balls covered with raw cotton and rolled in flour. Balls sold three for five cents. A postoffice in charge of Mrs. Santa Claus is recommended, where each pays five cents postage due for packages and postcards. If snowballing the target is too "mussy," a large holly wreath with a cluster of sleighbells in the center may be suspended from the ceiling with red and green streamers. Three balls of soft rubber are provided
