 CONT: When Ravenal first meets Magnolia, just after he sings  "Wheres The Mate For Me?", she mentions that she plays the piano.  He asks, "Was that you I heard just now?", but there is no  indication in the film that he actually has heard her. This is  probably because part of the scene may have been edited out before  the films release. In the original show, Ravenal sings the first  verse of "Wheres The Mate For Me?", and then hears Magnolia  practicing offstage. Then he goes on to sing a part of the song  which is not included in the film. Immediately afterwards, his first  conversation with Magnolia takes place, and so, in the stage  version, the audience knows exactly when he heard her practicing.
