Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Bob Loesch

[ Joyce Brite wrote in 131009 MMDigest, and Robbie remarked --

Hello Robbie and Joyce.  No, the song wasn't unique to the film,
but I cannot find the recording of it that I have, played on a Mills
Violano.  The Mills piano plays the accompaniment, and the violin
plays the melody, so the song must be a bit older than the film.
If anyone out there has a good selection of Violano music, it might
be among them!
