Matinee Gags
- Lucille Lyllou Chevalier sung in French instead of "the cat and the dog etc"
- Harry Linegar played an absurd number of instruments
- The flute cadenza was extended passed around the wind and featured the lick prominently
- The Union Flag was a Chinese flag
- Melodrame was replaced with Cantina Band
- Old Adam ended up with a box on his head instead of Dame Hannah
- Bows Music was a rickroll
