I imagine that the music was added after the fact in relatively modern times. Probably in the initial release of the movie, the music came from a piano player in the theater. *ShortCake* 08-12-2003, 10:21 AM oh ok!! i was confused for a little bit LOL.. thanks for answering my question Brandon :) BrandonS 08-12-2003, 10:21 AM Originally posted by Love, Lucy oh ok!! i was confused for a little bit LOL.. thanks for answering my question Brandon :) Welcome! dlemond 08-12-2003, 10:24 AM There was an orchestra and conductor, or at least an organist(I'm pretty sure) at the theaters. Here is an interesting article. http://www.polanegri.com/music_in_silent_films.htm *ShortCake* 08-12-2003, 11:04 AM THanks for the article!! I dont know much about silent films.. they are on TCM today starring Greta Garbo.. shes cool!! Thanks again! webuster 08-12-2003, 03:37 PM I saw most of 'The Harvey Girls' on TCM today- it was great, till I was interrupted! TCM is a good channel but in the UK it never shows silent films- the only films silent are shown irregularly on terrestial tv at real early times of the morning (like 3 am) so the only silent thing I've seen was by Buster Keaton. *ShortCake* 08-12-2003, 04:06 PM Buster Keaton is awesome!! he taught Lucy how to work with stage props.. he's so cool! I havent seen any of his movies yet though. BrandonS 08-12-2003, 04:28 PM Originally posted by Love, Lucy Buster Keaton is awesome!! he taught Lucy how to work with stage props.. he's so cool!
