ACT IV SceneqCampus at five minutes of twelve. A11 is dank dark and dreary, except the actor. A chug in the orchestra and a blue and yellow motor appears. tNote-Jirst introduction of automobile in Grand Operai . Various windows open to find out whose and whence the car. There is apparently only one occupant, but close scrutiny discloses two, Ernest and someone who belongs to his arm. Whispers in the Windows as to Who this someone is. Ernest hears the Whispers and the two occu- pants become definitely two. Gasps of satisfaction from the orchestra. With a roar of octaves up, down and around, Fannie VSchonmuller swirls in. Pieces of eight from the win- dows . Fannie takes out her pocket piano and plays the ten-paged Lisztitizky Octave Etude in the three minutes before she must leave her languishing partner. He is. to say the least, amazed. He Wraps the octaves prepar- atory to putting them in his files, entitled uSouvenirs from lady pianists . Another lady pianist appears. She leans upon a blond pianistis arm and sings a lovely aria My Brahm- sian Carl, My Little Petruchkah. The girl steps inside before she is recognized. Carl modestly retires but not before some looks of longing are cast at him from the windows. And finally the hero appears. Rubin Phillips in all his glory carrying an enormous violin and cavorting with Bernice, his elective aiiinity. He does not know that far, far away in Dothan is another who has the ladyis heart all packed, sealed and stamped. He sings, ttBernice, will you berceuse me to sleep . She answers, Gwen yo' pot Rube . She cioses him up in his violin case and rolls him home. - Several more little intimities, and it is two seconds of twelve. A great rush for Mr. Owen. The lights go out. All is dark and dreary.
