"Outside the Inn". Both left and right pieces are on castors and for the scene change to the "Cow Barn" swung inwards to make the barn, (See previous page) I hated this backcloth ( Where are the reflections?) and determined to paint better mountains - which I think I succeeded in doing many years later for "The Sound of Music"

By the way this backcloth was fairly old so I ruined it even more by scraping several holes in and around the "village" in the background and hung a lamp behind the cloth so that at 'nightfall' the light twinkled through the holes to make it look like lights in the village.
