Abrams, vice-president of the S. S. M. Company. Mr. Abrams, who invented the method of synchronizing music to pictures, so that any musician may play in perfect time with the picture, has provided also, in case the film is cut and is shorter than the original length, that the music can be utilized in just the same way as if the picture was full length. Mr. Abrams, it will be remembered, is the man who successfully synchronized phonograph records to pictures in the past and has had a varied experience in both pictures and music. The service offered by the new company is the result of Mr. Abram's personal investigation of the music situation in theatres throughout the country, during which he found that in the majority of cases, the musician does not know what music he is going to play for the feature as he cannot see it before the show starts and has to do the best he can while the picture is being run, being forced to rely entirely upon the repertoire which he has in his head, resulting often either in inappropriate music being played, which spoils the picture entirely, or in' the same music being used over and over again, so that patrons become tired of the repetition. To avoid this Mr. Abrams planned the Synchronized Scenario Music Company scores, whereby it is not necessary to see the picture before showing and the musician does not have to rely upon memory or have to be an experienced picture player, as the score is perfectly timed to every speed of projection and cued to every scene in complete book form.
