[magus]

Possible Title: The Doors

Good Ones:
Velvet finish?   EEN
Gadget you can count on   ABACUS
Slow, to Schumann   LENTO [clue is German; answer Italian, but universal music direction]
Well-heeled Marcos   IMELDA [viz. her shoes]
Theme: Two kinds of doors comprise a phrase
Where some carry keys   FRONTPOCKET
Peugot or Renault, e.g.   FRENCHCAR
Behind-the-scenes area   BACKSTAGE
Campaign in rural areas   BARNSTORM
School entrances {and theme}   DOUBLEDOORS

By the Way:
This gem not only has an entry that made me laugh aloud (IMELDA) it has a most inventive theme, along with a clever theme summary (DOUBLEDOORS).

RATING:    Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
