Heavy water. The flags and the apparition’s hair are moving with the wind but the water from the fountain isn’t.

Maybe it’s a really big candlestick rather than a fountain and that’s wax not water on it?

Wax was not what I was thinking of. If you can’t do water without it literally ending up looking like shit, then maybe, I don’t know, do something like a pot plant or a nice flower arrangement.

You were thinking pigeons, then? My bad.

You might want to throw a “font problems” tag on this too. Unless this is a sequel to the Great Gatsby…on Broadway….in the 70’s.

Looking at the large size picture, there are problems with the harpist, but the guy with the lute (a luter?) looks like the artist took a pic of his Prince Valiant action figure posed on the edge of an ash tray and called it a day.

Being JB Cabell, there’s probably some sort of ironic twist in their victory.

You just know he is going to spill red wine on his left leg.

@fred: or else the anorexic specter brings her own ghostly wind machine with her. The fact of her hair and dress billowing in a non-existent wind probably also contributes to his expression.
@daard23: Agreed with needing a ‘font problems’ tag and your description. Presumably the font-picker was a big fan of the 1974 movie with Redford and Farrow.

This editions publication may be 1974, but the book was originally published in 1913, some 12 years _before_ Gatsby. The first edition to actually sell came out in 1920. So the font may be a warning to the reader: this is a pretty old book, adjust your expectations accordingly.
(The original title was in fact Domnei: A Comedy of Woman-Worship, although it was shortened to “Domnei” from 1920 on, probably on the basis of “just too silly.”)

“That night, Gatsby had arranged a lavish costume party with a medieval theme. An entire replica castle had been built over his mansion. A famous Broadway artist played lute for the adoring guests. It was a smashing success.”

There seems to be something of the Oompa-Loompa about the young man’s hair.

Well that kind of spoils things, doesn’t it?
