[start scene] (The Footbridge. The stage is dark. As the traveller opens we see TOWNSPEOPLE crossing the Bridge on their way to the sociable, the QUARTET in Indian regalia, the LADIES in their Grecian draperies, and EVERYBODY dressed in their best carrying picnic baskets, freezers, etc.)

(The lights iris up to reveal ALL the TEEN-AGE COUPLES in a romantic pose. THEY dance to a waltz tempo version of “It’s You.”. The LAST YOUNG LADY escapes her escort and runs off Right. HAROLD appears, looks for MARIAN, then raps on the Bridge with a large twig HE is carrying. The Bridge moves forward, and HE conducts with the twig as though HE were leading a large orchestra. HE catches himself, breaks the twig and throws it away.)
