Description: On-screen singing (vocal warm ups) and string playing are layered on top of Steiner's Broadway-style piano piece; these layers are not coordinated with one another in terms of meter or material although they are in the same key; Steiner labels this a "two step rhythm" but the cue sheet calls it the "Clitterhouse Onestep"
Music annotations: [m. 11] two step rythm / orchestra fades out (piano plays alone) / piano solo continued / f / Dave! play this full and watch picture; [m. 12] morendo; [m. 42] rep. if wanted
Film annotations: [m. 25] Dancing girls
Analysis: There are a few chromatic chords (common-tone diminished sevenths and other embellishing chords) within a mostly diatonic framework
