He had no scenery in his day, and when they wanted to change a set for the next act, a stagehand brought out a placard bearing the legend "Paddock" for a stableyard, and when the same scene was to be changed to a banquet hall they would simply change the card to one bearing the words "Banquet Hall." Charley goes to the baker's shop and steals a bag of barley and as he comes out he is surprised by the baker and gets that famous clout that makes him hop, hop, hop. Little Jack Horner sits in his corner and does what made him famous and all to the delectation of the little audience who sits on the stage just as they did in Shakespeare's time. The Queen of Hearts makes some tarts and the King gives the Knave a fearful beating and the tarts are restored, much to the Queen's happiness. And little Miss Muffet sits on the tuffet and a terrible big spider comes and places himself beside her and Miss Muffet gets an awful fright and scampers away to safety.
