He shrewdly sized up the judges as serious musicians, played a Beethoven minuet instead of the popular tunes submitted by other contestants.

Main attractions of the frolicsome show are the clever routines, including a minuet for the famous "lady" chorus, soughs by Clay Poland, author of "Stop! Its's Wonderful"; and the contrast of 1740 costumes and 1940 dialogue...
