Film Music for the Link MP Junior Photoplayer
By Ralph Schultz

I've had a question for some time now and I haven't been able to
find a answer to it.  The Link MP Junior photoplayer pianos were
used in the theater to accompany the silent movies.

Was the music arranged for that particular featured film or was just
any music installed to add some basis for the movie?  I am sure that
Don Rand would know but I no longer have his address; maybe someone
else out there has the answer.

Thank you
Ralph J Schultz
