MGM GRAND HOTEL - RENO SCENE ONE "SAN FRANCISCO, CIRCA 1906" TO THE TUNE OF THAT FAMOUS SONG, "SAN FRANCISCO", THE CURTAIN OPENS ON BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN GATE PARK. IT'S A SUNNY, HAPPY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE PARK IS FULL OF PEOPLE STROLLING IN THEIR SUNDAY BEST, LOVELY PASTEL COLORS IN LACES, RIBBONS AND FLOWERS. A CABLECAR, RINGING ITS ARRIVAL, BRINGS MORE SINGING VISITORS TO THE PARK. THERE ARE CARRIAGES, STROLLERS, BICYCLES BUILT FOR TWO, SINGING THAT VERY SONG, THERE ARE PERAMBULATORS, GIRLS ROLLING HOOPS, SOME PLAYING CRIQUET, AND THERE'S A CHARMING BAND PLAYING CONCERT TO ADD TO THE HAPPY SPIRIT. CAMPY PERIOD GIRLS, IN CANOE COSTUMES, SING "ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT", TO THE DELIGHT OF THEIR AUDIENCE. HANDSOME MEN ARE PUSHING WICKER STROLLERS CARRYING PRETTY LADIES, AS THEY SING, "TELL ME, PRETTY MAIDEN, ARE THERE ANY MORE AT HOME LIKE YOU?", AND THE GIRLS SING FLIRTINGLY, "STROLLING WITH MY DADDY". OTHER MEN ARE COURTING LOVELY LADIES WITH "OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL". A SNAZZY CAR DRIVES UP, AND WE HEAR, "IN MY MERRY OLDSMOBILE". AS THE AFTERNOON TURNS TO EVENING, THE CRESCENT OF A MOON APPEARS, SITTING ON IT, A GORGEOUS GIRL, LEADING EVERYONE IN SONG, "BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON". (USE THE 12 BOYS TO CARRY SANDWICH BOARDS, (FRONT AND BACK) TO SPELL OUT SAN FRANCISCO.) "TA-RA-RA-BOOM-DER-E", "IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME", "ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON", "THE BAND PLAYED ON", "HELLO, FRISCO", "BY THE SEAUTIFUL SEA", "AT THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL DAY",
