"... the magic is all around you.

All the time.  Everywhere.

In every thing.

The trick... is to see it."
IN BLACK...



... the insistent, persistent, eight-to-the-bar beat of

BOOGIE-WOOGIE.  Hot, exciting, pulsating rhythm, ramping up.
THEN...



... in the blackness, falling s-l-o-w-l-y, tumbling

g-e-n-t-l-y, a picture-postcard:
                "GREETINGS FROM HOLLYWOOD!"



Then another... and another, each one dropping through frame,

a gentle rain.
In these old postcards, Hollywood is a dream town where movie

stars glide out of big cars to press their hands-and-

footprints in the wet cement.
Another postcard:
        "I'M MEETING THE STARS AT HOLLYWOOD & VINE!"
