Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Jim Canavan

Here's one for you: the classic Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers movie "The Story of Vernon & Irene Castle." Early on in the movie, Fred (Vernon) is invited to Ginger's (Irene) house, where she tries to impress him by performing a goofy song & dance number, dressed in a clown suit, and accompanied by Walter Brennan pumping a player piano!
