Editing Cavalcade (play) (section)

===Part III ===
====Scene 1: Tuesday 31 December 1929. The Marryot's drawing room====
Margaret and Jane, both now elderly, are sitting by the fire. Margaret leaves, after wishing a happy New Year to Jane and Robert, who has come in to drink a New Year toast with his wife. Jane drinks first to him and then to England: "The hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness, and peace again".

====Scene 2: Evening, 1930. A night club====
Robert, Jane, Margaret, Ellen, and the full company are in a night club. At the piano, Fanny sings "Twentieth Century Blues", and after the song everyone dances.

====Scene 3: Chaos====
The lights fade, and a chaotic succession of images representative of life in 1929 is spotlighted. When the noise and confusion reach a climax the stage suddenly fades into darkness and silence. At the back a [[Union Jack]] glows through the darkness. The scene ends with the lights coming up on the massed company singing "God Save the King".
