The only essential effects are those necessary to accentuate the melodramatic action during Nos. 3, 4, 11, 13, 14 and 15. The scenes of the picture are laid in France, which fact should be noted when you set your musical program. No. 1 should be a light waltz lento movement. French type waltz is the better. No. 2 should be a medium slow number of romantic appeal. Should not be a draggy number. No. 5 should be a concert waltz with a slow introduction of pathetic appeal. No. 6 is similar to 2. No. 7 should be a slow waltz lento movement played legato. Must be a more serious number than used for No. 1. No. 8 must be a slow number of positive pathetic appeal. No. 9 is the French National Hymn. No. 10 must be a slow number of pathetic appeal with slight dramatic suggestion. No. 12 is similar to 5. No. 16 is similar to 8, No. 17 is similar to 10. This number can be of less serious nature. No. 18 should be a light 4/4 number of the caprice order with a legato strain predominant. No. 19 is similar to 8. No. 20 is self-explanatory. No. 21 is similar to 1. No. 22 and 23 must both be very serious numbers with greatly pronounced pathetic appeals. The first number should suggest the dramatic. The second number's greatest value depends upon its pathos. The two numbers must play about 11 minutes. No. 24 is a screen suggestion and can be made effective by the use of Carrie Jacob-Bond's song " A Perfect Day." The melodramatic numbers 3, 4, 11, 13, 14 and 15 and are very essential for dramatic accentuation. The organ can be very appropriately used for the entire last two reels and any of the other slow numbers.
