Finally, an inspiration struck her, and she rushed out and bought three rolls of clothesline, which she promptly raveled and then dyed, red, green and yellow. The result was a most effective costume especially when combined with the head-dress of real animal horns and feathers. The total cost of the ensemble was $3.00." Unfortunately, the copies of "The Sea Beast" that have survived do not seem to contain the dance prologue featuring Ms. Joyner.
