Adelphi Rooms promptbook, final tableau cue, 3 May 1909

Promptbook leaf for The Painted Trapdoor, Act IV, copied from R. Bentham's desk copy after the Saturday benefit performance.

Final tableau: Cressida enters by upper terrace, crosses to center white star, drops the blue cloak hood, and receives full house before second curtain.

Trapdoor note in red pencil: terrace stone No. 4 repainted to match downstage flags; do not chalk edge after supper call. Keep hinge cloth under painted side.

Curtain call order:

Cressida center white star. Captain Harrow left mark. Servants below rail. No bow from upper terrace.

Late insertion between cue 87 and curtain:

If principal is delayed at change, approved stand-in may hold the hooded first bow under blue cloak. Face need not be shown until gas is brought down.

Margin in another hand:

Strike this from clean book. Public call remains Miss Lark at center.
