C, U of the man he is dressed in a Pearly King outfit. He begins to play the tiny harmonica to the amusement of a man standing next to him. And this (seventeen feet long ) High angle shot of a crowded street. Group of Pearly Kings jauntily lead a procession with others carrying a massive mouth organ Printed on the side of the harmonica are the words Blue and Bird. Various shots of the huge harmonica being carried by several Pearly Kings.
