This catalogue contains
listings of more than 130 reels containing a short performance
films. Each reel is 1600 feet in length and offers all genres of
music.
For the most part, these
short films were produced and distributed commercially as
Soundies, Telescriptions, and Scopitones.
Soundies are short films, usually lasting about three
minutes. They were produced in the 1940s for visual jukeboxes
where customers paid a fee to view as well as hear popular songs
of the day.
Snader Telescriptions are
similarly short performances produced in
1951-1952 for local television stations needing
"filler" programming.
Scopitones are short musical films made for visual jukeboxes
in Europe and the U.S. in 1966. Unlike Soundies and Snaders,
Scopitones are in color.
These reels are labeled Pop
Music and each contains more than a dozen shorts. For more such
films, see Jazz Shorts and Black Music reels to be
