DescriptionA group of thirteen men and women stand on a stage, facing the camera. They are in contemporary clothing, including dresses and tuxedos. One man wears a top hat. Some of the women carry large bouquets, suggesting that the cast may be taking a curtain call. The stage set includes a sofa and a small table and a painted backdrop and side panels. A piano with two briefcases on top of it is in front of the stage.
