Ambiguously Brown wick cleaning. Characters are of the same ethnicity as the actors that play them.


* AmbiguouslyBrown: Dolores … possibly. The stage directions and dialogue list her as a "Spanish girl" (as indeed are the other girls who head the flower farms, all presumed to be native to the island in some sense), but quite implicitly she was born and grew up entirely in the Philippines, which puts the odds just as much in favour of her possibly having as much native blood, on the balance, as strictly-Spanish blood, if not more.
** Indeed, anyone in the play with a Hispanic-sounding name could be this (the overseer Leandro, for instance). They could be just as much native-Filipino as actually Hispanic (not to mention all the possible ratios of blood admixture between the two extremes).

* AdvertisedExtra: The "Florodora Girls" were one of this play's main selling points to audiences, despite that the girls themselves are minor supports to Dolores at best (ditto with their male counterparts vis-a-vis Frank Abercoed), and only star in two of the play's nearly two dozen musical numbers.
