Was _The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays_, at 120 minutes, the longest film that had been made to date?

Also, did it have the first original music score?

The film had its world premiere September 24, 1908.

Traditionally, the latter is ascribed to Camille Saint-Saƫns for _L'Assassinat de Duc de Guise_, which was not released until November 17, 1908.

"It's a queer world, and the longer I live in it the queerer I find it. Once I thought it would be a good idea to regulate things myself, and run the world as it ought to be run; but I gave it up long ago. The world's a stage, they say; but the show ain't always amusing, by a long chalk, and sometimes I wish I didn't have a reserved seat."--John Merrick, _Aunt Jane's Nieces_, by L. Frank Baum
