Somebody in Edinburgh’s Got to Keep their Sanity!
At the end of World War Two, Scotland decided that a festival was in order. In 1947 the first Edinburgh International Festival of the arts was held. The festival brings the best artists celebrating theatre, opera, music, dance and visual arts. It still happens every August and you can discover the details of the next event at the Festival Website:

As our adventure opens Edinburgh is beginning the 1951 Festival, and a brassy American is trying to put on a Follies show featuring scantily clad dancing girls and gay, bright music. Of course, he has no money, and plenty of debts, and his production may not happen if the men who loaned him the money for his production pull the plug.
Fortunately, an American girl who is part of the chorus line is late for work, and as uncouth Americans are prone to do, she sticks out her thumb to ‘hitchhike’ a ride to the theater. Who should pick her up but the chauffeur of the wealthiest man in Scotland. This leads to that and everyone in the theatre comes to believe that American chorus line dancer Janet Jones, played by Vera-Ellen, is the fiancé of the wealthy bachelor B.G. Bruno, played by David Niven. Oh, . . . . if it could only be so! Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.
