Hi everyone, Just enjoyed watching three Buster Keaton movies from the 1918 era. Very funny and caused a lot of thought. Two of which are, 1. Was the music played on the piano issued with the film, or did the pianist make it up as he went? and 2. What would the pianist enter down as his job occupation, a pianist or cinemagraphic accompanist. Still looking for any HUME's out there plus the 'other lot'. regards John in a cold but dry Nottingham John Morriss HUME Always looking for:-HUME plus ARCHER-Cradley Herts, 1840---BEAL(E) - Sheffield 1880 BROOKES-Rotherham BOIK- SCOTLAND, SOUTH AFRICA, London BROGDEN - Collingham York 1851 1860---BUCKLAND-Nottingham 1880 BURTON- Sheffield 1910---CARLTON-Sutton on Forest Yorks. 1730 CLARKE-Myton Hall, CLARK- Hull 1820, Yorks 1825---CROWSHAW- Sheffield 1910 HARGREAVES-West Yorks 1840---HARRISON-Nottingham 1760 HELMAN-London 1850---HOLIDAY-Kilvington York 1780 HUME- Lowestoft 1901--- LINCOLN-London 1850--- MEDD-SEAMER YORK 1901---McBRIDE- Rotherham 1850 SKELTON -York 1800---THEAKER- Sheffield 1910 STANLEY-West Hartlepool-1863 -- ---------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Hi John, I found this page of the BBC TV site http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/2321019.stm on the subject of Cinema Pianists. This should answer you questions about how they worked. You are probably right about the job description for the census Cinematograph Pianist I should think would cover it.
