| Description: | "PIC MUSICAL - NICHOLAS MEDVEDEFF AND HIS ORCHESTRA". London Various shots of Nicholas Medvedeff and his Orchestra playing traditional Russian music. The four men and two women are all dressed in traditional costume and, except for one woman they all play Russian guitars (triangular-shaped). One man plays an enormous triangle guitar. They sit and stand on some large white steps that run the length of the studio. As they play another girl in traditional dress enters and does a dance to the music, ending in the splits. Then the non-guitar playing woman stands before a microphone and sings a song. It ends with the men laughing at her, in time to the music. The woman sits down with a disgruntled look on her face. | |
