Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Paul Johnson

This is more of a stretch, but I was enjoying the film "Ruggles of Red
Gap" last night.  Highly recommended Fourth of July weekend watching,
by the way, on Amazon Prime.

At one point in the film, a nickelodeon can be spotted in a few of
the bar scenes.  Also, a player piano playing the Maple Leaf Rag is
featured as the characters pass in front of the bar.  I should note
that these are the scenes in Red Gap versus Paris.
