drop scene

Some decorations have been added since last year, and an allegorical drop-scene has been painted.

Through the centre of the rear drop scene is seen a small chamber in which is a suit of armor standing upright.

There was a black curtain, like a drop-scene; and I knew that, as soon as that lifted, I should be dead and on the other side.

A composition like this on the drop-scene of a theatre would scarcely surprise us, but here we rub our eyes.

At night the façade behaves very oddly, for it becomes then as flat as a drop scene.
