ACT II. _A field near the pavilion of Saul.

(_The same blue curtain, or out of doors, will do for both scenes._)

THE PROPERTIES

A horn of oil for the Prophet Samuel. A sword and horn for Eliab. A platter of food for Daughter of Jesse. A harp, a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, a slingshot for David. Helmet, spear and shield for Armor-bearer. Pebbles for attendant to give David. Sword and shield for Challenger. Horn and spear for First Messenger. Horn and spear for Second Messenger. A crown of flowers for Michal.

For the head of Goliath take a fierce-looking mask; attach it to helmet. Sew long swaggering locks of hair on either side, and a sweep of red cloth at back. So, when David removes mask from Goliath's face, in cutting off his head, the red cloth will give the whole a solid appearance.

If possible, have a harp for the music.
