Bally Hoo

A painted backglass with a pale turquoise-to-blue vertical gradient background overlaid by big curling red and magenta ornamental scrolls in the corners. Four cream-white rectangular score windows with black drop shadows are set into the glass: 1st PLAYER upper left, 2nd PLAYER mid left, 3rd PLAYER lower left and 4th PLAYER upper right, each above roller digits reading 0000 (the top left reads 3810). Centred high is a curved yellow script logo, and beneath it the main title HOO DOO in huge yellow block capitals with white inner faces and dark shading, arched slightly. Below the title is a crowded caricature pile: a woman in a sleeveless red dress with black hair and a headband sits at the top of the heap; below her a pale grinning jester in a white ruff and tall white hat with a feather; a white-faced grinning skull; a figure in a black pointed hood; an arm holding a curved sickle; a yellow horn and a small drum. Upper right of the pile a white owl with dark spread wings hovers. On the right a white horse rears behind a woman in a red-and-white striped costume, standing before a white curtained booth or cabinet in which a woman in a short black dress dances. Lower right a red banner reads BALL IN PLAY; lower left an orange box reads CAN PLAY above four red squares numbered 1 2 3 4. Style is flat mid-century cartoon illustration with bold black outlines.
