POSSIBLE COURTROOM BANNERS

Carl, below are 5 potential courtroom banners. I believe to simplify the scene change from the tobacco factory to tobacco office to courtroom, instead of using a justice's bench, we should use a soft banner. This banner can be preset, rolled up on the upper level. Perhaps one of the citizens in the court scene might act as a courtroom clerk. He/she could attach the banner to the pipe railing and let it drop ... unrolling to a symbolic seal of the courtroom. Also, instead of having the jurists sit, I think having them stand behind the banner will help facilitate a rapid change of settings. Also, I would think that the chief justice might bang on the pipe with his gavel instead of a wooden table top.

A 6th possibility might be a plain piece of burgandy or neutral velour. Of course, a 7th possibility can be none of the sample and something else that you might have in mind.
