Description: This transition is borrowed from the transition in the film "Crime School" (1938); cuts that were made in Crime School were retained here in order to lengthen the transition

Orchestration annotations: [m. 3] omit T.C. in this bar; [m. 4] T.C.
Analysis: This transitional theme is tonally unstable (with chromatic parallelism and tall chords over dissonant pedals) until it reaches the dominant pedal of C major in measure 5
