Don't forget Billy Murray's great Blue Amberols 'He's Working in the Movies Now' and 'Since Mother Goes to Movie Shows'.

This brought to mind some of the early phonograph records made which refer to early movies or motion pictures, some of which I have in my collection, including "At the Moving Picture Ball" (on an Edison BA), Take your Girlie to the Movies, on both Victor (by Billy Murray) & Columbia by Irving Kaufman, Ever Since the Movies learned to talk by Billy Murray, If I had a Talking Picture of you, by various artists, and the earliest "McGinty at the Living Pictures" by Edward M. Favor on Columbia black wax two minute Cylinder 32495. I am sure there are others, but I was curious if there were any earlier then the McGinty song which from what I understand was originally recorded by Favor in 1897, I believe my Columbia is a 1904 effort by Favor. Also feel free to add to the list of the others titles that I'm sure must exist from th e first couple decades of the twentieth century. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
