Margo Aaron and Mel are white. Aisha and Mohammed are from Cairo, Egypt. Each scene is set by larger than life lights that are the replica of the real life lights of New York Places. Most often the colors are yellows pink oranges whites red and purple. The dialogue is collective and almost a song. Their whole youthful summer is a dance and the dances all reflect this. All the lights glitter with a life of their own. [End Page 102] Places: The Thalia Upper Broadway Bancroft Hall, Columbia University MacDougal Street Rienzi's Coffee House Washington Sq. Park Metropole Palladium Birdland Scene One: Night Lights: Thalia (The stage is bare; above are Thalia lights. Lights are high and glitter like stars. EDDIE and BILLIE, a young married "Negro" couple. AARON and MARGO, a young Jewish couple emerge from Thalia. Thalia music, movie music. The four go into a dance; As they finish the dance, they start to talk to each other. They talk collectively as in a chorus with great exhilaration. They are in front of the theatre.) 1...

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
