drop curtain

Gerhardt had painted the drop-curtain, and assisted in the general construction of scenery and effects.

The door closed, and the inmates drew a long breath; it was as if the drop curtain had descended between the acts of a drama.

The drop curtain was up, showing a pretty English country scene.

These delicious fancies and reflections, however, were now interrupted by the falling of the drop-curtain.

A huge diagram was placed on the drop curtain, showing the seats that were to be sold divided into blocks.
