Yes.

HANK

How does it work?

JONATHAN

These are the actors.

HANK

What's the string fer?

JONATHAN

You put him in a groove and pull him.

HANK

Lemme see it.

JONATHAN

All right. I'll show you a scene from the play I'm going to play for my Uncle Nathaniel tomorrow.

HANK

Fire away.

[Jonathan lights the lamps that are back of the screen and pulls the blinds or some cover over the barred windows.

HANK

I wouldn't have all this junk if you'd give it to me. No, sir, when I move I carry my house with me and there ain't much o' that now. (Indicates his clothes)

JONATHAN

All ready. Now you sit there.

[Places Hank on the bench.

He goes behind the screen and taps some bells.

HANK

What's that fer?

JONATHAN

That's to get ready.

HANK

Well, I'm ready.

[Jonathan opens the curtain and discloses a scene from Zenobia.

That's beautiful. It's just like real.

[Jonathan pulls a figure across the stage.

Hello, old man. That's the one I jus' seen. Where's the string?

[Jonathan lifts the string.

JONATHAN

Here it is.

HANK

Now where's that feller goin' to?

JONATHAN (coming out from behind the screen)

Well, you see, Zenobia—

HANK

Zenob—God, what a name!

JONATHAN

They used to have names like that.

HANK

How d' you do it?

JONATHAN

Look, I'll show you a little.

[He goes behind the screen and closes the curtain.

HANK

What you doin' that for? I like to see that picture.
