[Phono-L] McGinty at the Living Pictures
When I was in First Grade in Beaumont, Texas in 1951 students teachers were costumed posed in a large picture frame on the auditorium stage to re-create famous paintings - I was Boy With a Rabbit, my former kindergarten teacher was Whistler's Mother The Gleaners Blueboy were among the other Living Pictures represented. Maybe the words of the song would aid in determining whether it refers to these Living Pictures in which we had to pose perfectly still or early motion pictures.

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.

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 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
