DRAMATIS PERSONÆ. Oscar Schwarz , a German toy-maker. Galatea , a doll.

The place is Germany. The time is the present. The scene is Oscar's work-room.

 The scene is the interior of the work-room of a German toy-shop. Across the back, there runs a low, broad latticed window. A large work-bench, back, C. is littered with all sorts of tools. Toys of all sorts are scattered about the room, ad lib. The furnishing, rough and simple, is as foreign in suggestion as possible. At the R. C. is a wooden stand, with a railed top, from which hang calico curtains: concealing the figure within. On the wall, R. is a telephone, which rings, as the curtain is rising. Oscar Schwarz is seated on a stool, R. C., working busily at a steel spring. He is in the blouse of a workman. He is humming or whistling the last few bars of Die Lorelei which is the curtain music .
