First sentence: In Irving Berlin's Stop! Look! Listen!which opened on Broadway on Christmas Day, 1915the song "I Love a Piano" was staged as a lavish production number: the singer Harry Fox and the chorus girls, accompanied by six pianists on six pianos, strutted in front of a giant keyboard that reached across the stage.
