& Music for „Carmen.“
Mr. Dick Bertram, Musical Director Palace Theatre,
Burlington, Iowa, submits the following: ,The
accompanying program is meant as a suggestion for
orchestras in the smaller cities and towns
only, where music from the opera is not so well known.´
In this program I have chosen the three numbers
which are the most popular. Victor records mentioned greatly
enhance the value of the picture and fit the action
nicely. If they are used I would suggest obtaining the best
model of phonograph for their reproduction. I use
the Aeolian Graduola because its mechanism is such as
to permit pp. and forte effects. The Carmen music
used is all in the selection from the opera arranged by Emil
Tavan and published by Emil Asher. This makes
the program easy to handle as it is necessary to work the
three themes several times. The overture also
is taken from this selection as described. A rough and
wild effect should be given to most of the
numbers in order to preserve the proper effect.‘
Carmen (with Geraldine Farrar.)
Paramount Production.
Overture. (From the selection.) Andante Moderato and
Allegro 6/8. Introduction. Allegro Giocoso 2/4. Hahanera, jump to
Toreador song and play to close.
(Slide mentioning Farrar records.)
Opening Tacet until ,As Carmen.‘ Then: –
-
(1),Gypsy Song.‘ (This is the second Allegro Moderato 3/4
of the selection. Play B flat strain only; cadence and segue.“ (...)

„The Palace Theater used a slide mentioning
the Farrar records. Mr. Betram suggests that if no slides
be available, an announcement be made pertaining
to and explaining these records. Mr. Betram says they proved
valuable both as a musical accompaniment and as an
added novelty. This may be all right with a good phonograph
and new records, as he says they used. Using Geraldine
Farrar records would seem to be a talking point for the exhibitor
when showing the Farrar picture.“

„Getting upon a higher plane with each new production“
Editorial content. „Movie Notes“ (...)
„Charley Chaplin, in a burlesque of „Carmen,“
is said to be the next effort of the agile fun-maker. Chaplin‘s
work with Essanay seems to be getting upon a higher
plane with each new production.“
