A large paper screen is suspended
in the middle of the stage, held
by ropes from the "gridiron." It is made
to sway gently from side to side, and while
in motion a small ball covered with colored
ink moves backward and forward,
leaving a trail of writing. The mysterious
writing is made to answer questions asked
by members of the audience and do other
feats.
