Season's Greetings, As a Christmas present to all, I have run across a person you might be interested in. Eric James worked with Charlie Chaplin writing the music for his films. He is now in his 80s but still quit spry and willing to speak about Chaplin, music for the "silent" cinema, and the early days of cinema. He has a short film which he uses to demonstrate how music was used in the "silent" cinema and gives an interesting lecture. He uses the honorarium to supplement his old-age pension. To contact him call him at his home in Whitby, Ontario, Canada at telephone (905) 668-7794. He's a living piece of cinema history. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mark Ritchie | Tel: (519) 888-4070 Media Librarian | Fax: (519) 888-6197 Audio-Visual Centre | University of Waterloo | Internet: [log in to unmask] "I was just out of college and still believed in classifications and catagories" - Jean Renoir -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
