Rise-and-Sink, method of effecting a
transformation scene made possible by the provision of space above the stage with a low
grid. Though not as lofty as the later
flies, this would take the depth of half a backcloth, and a scene could therefore be changed quickly by causing the upper half to ascend and the lower half, possibly framed out and with a profiled upper edge, to descend into the
cellar on
slotes.
