It's not much of a cue sheet -- and it relies somewhat on the fact that the audience will connect the music of "Pinkerton Detective Moon" with its title, which is (to put it mildly) not a given these days. It's also not very detailed -- It has only 18 cues, one of which lasts 7.5 minutes, which may be a record. Mont Alto's score uses 27 cues for Sherlock Jr., not counting the whole entering-the-movie thing, where I like to change the music along with the background, so in our score that cue gets 8 pieces of music. The cue sheet uses one piece for that sequence, though "Creepy Creeps" by Borch is an excellent choice if you're going to use just one.

The size of the image is pretty large since I've only got a lousy copy and want you to have a chance of reading what it says, so I've linked it rather than placing it. Have fun...

Quite unusual that no one is credited for compiling the cue sheet, although I suspect it was Ernst Luz, who did most of the Metros, and is confirmed by the preponderance of Photoplay Music Co. cues.

Using "What'll I do?" as Keaton's romantic theme is very nice, if not particularly inventive.

That's wonderful. Thank you Rodney. A real help - will build my own score expanding on it. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Interesting. The information at the top of the sheet says the movie is 4030 feet and 48 minutes.

I plugged those numbers into Kodak's footage calculator and the frame rate comes up at 22 fps. (the film will run 48 minutes and 43 seconds, tho.)

Its a neat tool, the Kodak calculator.
