The piece has been prettily costumed and well "put on," but there's not much else to be said... "The Merry-Go-Round" never stopped its descent, winding up as near the bottom as it could possibly have gotten.
There is sufficient in "The Merry-Go- Round" to give full value for one dollar but it requires much working over to be considered even at that price.
