Historically correct persiflage of the life "inside" the theater, behind the curtain. The impression of strangeness derives from that we are taken to the pre-television era. Played very fast, and thus very funny. Compare the introductory scene to the one of "Adventures in Babysitting." One of the better performances of Wolf Albach-Retty, who may have been more, in his time, than just Romy's father.
