ACT ONE

SCENE IV

AS CABLE sings, the lights fade slowly. A transparent curtain
closes across him.

Downstage, several G.I.'s enter carrying bales and various
articles of equipment. The lights dim out on CABLE behind the
curtain and now, illuminating the forestage, reveal the curtain
as depicting a company street.

SAILOR

(Crossing stage)

When are you guys going to get that lumber down in our
area?

SEABEE

(Passing him)

Aw, knock it off!

SAILOR

We'll never get it finished by Thanksgiving.

(By this time, the lights are higher on the company
street. Natives and G.I.'s are constantly crossing, carry-
ing equipment. Natives are seen sometimes wearing
G.I. uniforms and sometimes just native cloths. Two
nurses in white uniforms cross. Then BILLIS enters, in
earnest conversation with STEWPOT and the PROFESSOR.)
