Note. — In music plots each reel of film is divided into 10 units of time, each unit denoted by one X representing about 1% minutes. Consequently when a number is designated by XX it plays about 3 minutes, XXXX about 6 minutes, etc. When no X appears after musical description it means that the number is very short and does not play a minute or more. When cues to stop numbers are in quotalion, " ," it means that the cue is reading matter or sub-title. All other cues are action on screen. All segues should be made quietly and clean. When quick segues or abrupt stops are necessi»ry it will be mentioned in Cues or Notes. When the time of each 1,000 ft. of film is less than 15 minutes there will appear less than 10 X's in each reel. To get the correct time of projection for each reel, multiply the number of X's appearing in each reel by 1V2 Music Notes. — This picture affords excellent opportunities for a good rendition of your musical program, the numbers all playing quite some length of time. No. 1 should be a light 2-4 number of frivolous temperament. No. 2 should be a medium slow number of romantic appeal. Legato movements should be predominant. Nos. 3, 4, 14, 19 and 22 are short melodramatic numbers as suggested in plot. Ko. S should be a concert waltz with a slow introduction of pathetic appeal. No. 6 must be a medium slow number of romantic appeal and a slight dramatic effect. No. 7 should be a very slow number of a positive pathetic appeal and a decided dramatic effect. No. 8 should be a slow waltz lento movement with legato strains predominant. No. 9 is similar to 7. No. 10 should be a slow melodious number of pathetic appeal. This number does not need to be of dramatic effect. No. 11 should be a medium lively number of intermezzo style. No. 12 should be a ballad. It accompanies singing on the screen. At the end of the singing the number can be finished if played very softly. Nos. 13 and IS are similar to 7. No. 16 is similar to 5. No. 17 is similar to 7. No. 18 must be a very slow number with a decided dramatic effect. It should not be a sweet or melodious number, the dramatic effect being the more important. No. 20 is similar to 10. No. 21 is a light 2-4 number. The organ can be very appropriately used throughout this entire picture.
