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

At a recent meeting of our MAPS chapter phonograph Society, one of our members
demonstrated how early moving Pictures were shown using an Edison Kinetoscope.
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] McGinty at the Living Pictures

Two very nice additions to the list. What was the Difference between a 
Living Picture Show, as opposed to a Moving Picture show. I have tried to 
find an explanation on line but can't find one. I am just guessing, but 
maybe an early form of late 19th century amusement where the performers 
actually appeared on stage in a big giant frame in still form and then came 
to life to perform? Just a guess, if anyone else knows please enlighten me. 
I had never heard the reference to Living Pictures before and assumed it was 
an early reference to the first motion pictures. An obvious mistake on my 
part.

Very close, Bruce. Live performers recreate scenes in famous paintings.
