Book Description

Excerpt from The Moving Picture World, 1919, Vol. 39 In a certain feature of recent release, there was shown upon the screen a few bars of a popular song sung by some darkies. The lyrics beneath the music read, Meet her and greet her with a smile. For some unaccountable reason, or through sheer negligence, the musical director, who arranged the cue sheet, used the words on the screen as the caption of the song and so indicated it in his cue sheet. We personally wired the director of the picture and found it to be The Sun shine of Virginia, published by Shapiro, Bernstein Company. Why didn't the cue sheet arranger get in touch with his picture director before issuing broadcast cue sheets that are mislead ing? The question of the suitability of selections is largely a matter of opinion and criticism becomes difficult, but when for a direct cue a number is suggested that does not exist, then it is high time that the musical director gets the script or the facts from the picture director.
