Naval Gun on Regent Stage With an Ottawa Naval Crew | The ship's gun and crew from the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve, Ottawa Company, engaging in a dummy submarine attach, as presented in a prologue to "Zeebrugge" the official Admiralty reconstruction of the Glorious Naval Epic which took place on St. George's Day, 1918. The naval gun is now in the Regent Theatre. Its weight is almost 1 1-2 ton. The crew is composed of Ottawa buys, all of whom have seen sacrifice on warships during their annual summer training. The training periods of this company consist of drills in Ottawa on Friday evenings in local barracks, 305 Wellington street, during the year, and two weeks at the coast in summer, in barracks or on a warship, all expenses being paid. The summer trips are taken when best suited to each individual. This event at the Regent is unusual, and is a rare opportunity for the Ottawa public to witness a naval gun in action. The picture is being shown under the distinguished patronage of Their Excellencies The Governor-General and The Lady Byng of Vimy. https://omeka.uottawa.ca/silentfilmmusiccanada/files/original/053ecaec616427615826da2abe331365.jpg 0693bee9ca5f2738eee7c910d57f2537 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Inscription: Basilica Male Choir Meets With Success at the Regent | Synchronizing of Choir Voices With Action of Picture Proves Decided Novelty during Presentation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." One of the best musical innovations ever presented in any motion picture theatre in Ottawa was introduced by Manager Cloakey in securing the Basilica Notre Dame Cathedral Male Choir, which delighted though sands of music lovers all week at this popular photoplay house, in conjunction with the local premiere of Victor Hugo's immortal drama, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." The beautiful quality and blending of the voices must be heard to be fully appreciated, which is enhanced by the arrangement of the prologue to the feature attraction. The atmosphere created by the choir is perfect, and the sychronizing of the voices to suit the action of the picture is arranged in a most novel manner. The Basilica choir has been engaged of the second week of the presentation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and all those who have not seen this production or heard the choir will have the opportunity of doing so all next week. Special mention might also be made of the special musical score which is interpreted by the Regent Concert Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Rudolph Pelisek. It is one of the most difficult scores ever written for a picture, and the Regent Orchestra has the distinction of playing from the original score that was used on Broadway for the first presentation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." https://omeka.uottawa.ca/silentfilmmusiccanada/files/original/6b9682dad0dd89997f62243ec307cf6c.jpg 626d73d45e37f07a693df5ba7ada7a34 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

January 30 1926: 15. Microfilm from Ottawa Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1926 Description An account of the resource A rare mention of an original film music score comes up in this article on the Français' showing of The Thief of Bagdad. Inscription: Special Music for 'Bagdad' Film | A successful effort to retrieve the spirit of the ancient Bagdad melodies was made by Mortimer Wilson, conductor-composer of New York, who wrote the musical score for Douglas Fairbanks' "The Thief of Bagdad," which comes to the Francais Theatre for two days, commencing next Monday. the stories the aged story tellers of Bagdad related around the blazing fires to camel drivers and travellers centuries ago have been preserved in "The Arabian Nights," but the music of that day has been lost forever. Mortimer Wilson reincarnated it. He has caught all the romance, beauty, colour, and glitter of that ancient city and interpreted it in terms of notes and bars. The success of his efforts is due to the fact that he took his inspiration directly from the picture, viewing each scene shortly after it was taken and then setting his impressions to music.
