Musical Boxes in the Old West
By Michael Woolf

Laurel and Hardy's wonderful Western spoof, "Way Out West," has
several items including a table model disc musical box placed on top
of a safe (and incidentally presenting a continuity problem -- its
lid pops up and down in a couple of shots) and a gambling machine
that pays out noisily while the boys are trying to sneak in quietly.
There's a coin piano as well.

And a rather strange film called "Pillow Talk" (Doris Day & Rock
Hudson) has a sequence meant to indicate an over-the-top bordello.
A nickelodeon is featured.
