Starting with Cosmo happily dancing along to the Singin' in the Rain number, with Don and R.F. gleefully joining in as they dance over to the rope to raise the curtain and badly sing along as they do so. The final clincher is when, as the audience roars with laughter at the reveal of Kathy behind the curtain, Cosmo runs out on stage and takes over the microphone from her to continue the song while the oblivious Lina is still lip-syncing.

** To entertain elderly guests, the British Royal Family would have reels of their favourite silent films sent to the Palace/Castle. Often visiting at the latter was Princess Alice of Greece - the mother of the present Queen's husband (Philip, Duke of Edinburgh). Deaf from birth, she was a highly-skilled lip-reader - and could do so in five languages. She would add to the entertainment by deciphering what the actors were actually saying to each other - in one case, during a dramatic clasp with apparent declarations of eternal love, the leading man was in fact telling his co-star that he was going to be evicted from his apartment if he missed that week's rent.
