hiccups seem Inevitable Among the characters are a bored man and his musically attentive wife a girl who fairly swoons at every note a shy boy' a tough girl and twe talkative matrons And among the dreams are aa extremely funny dance with umbrellas to Chopin's Raindrop Prelude a hysterical number with a flight of madden- butterflies to the Butterfly Etude and two glorious ballet satires an
