A director doing a tear-jerker drama might be playing 'Hearts and Flowers', while on one side of him Al Christie would be doing a comedy and playing ragtime, and on the other Robert Z. Leonard would be having his orchestra play a schottische for a foreign portrayal. It was bedlam-confounded, but the results were effective on the screen."
