SCENES ARRANGED FROM "THE
SECRET GARDEN" *

CHORUS. Little Mary Lenox, a disagreeable spoiled sickly child, had lived her ten years of life in the care of servants in India, where her father held a position under the English government. In the epidemic of cholera that swept through that part of the world, her parents died, and Mary was sent to an uncle, a morbid hunchback, who lived in a great roomy house with many locked rooms, amidst the Scotch moors.

Here she meets Mrs. Medlock, the housekeeper; Martha, the maid; Ben Weatherstaff, the gardener; and his friend, the Robin. She hears of a "Secret Garden."

FIRST SCENE

[MARY'S bedroom, the first morning in her uncle's
home. MARTHA is making the fire.]

MARY. [Sitting up in bed.]

What is that? [Pointing

out of the window at the moor.]

MARTHA. [Smiling goodnaturedly.] That's the moor. Does tha' like it?
