    Description

    This is a 16 mm, B&W, sound, film from Movie Newsreels Hollywood called Paulena Carter at the Piano  (1949) - It runs about 9 minutes, has complete titles, has some lines/wear, NO splices ,and no vinegar.
    A cool, rare look at an Amazing Woman Pianist....
    San Francisco born pianist and composer Paulena Carter was something of a child prodigy - she started her career as pianist at the tender age of seven, and performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra at age thirteen in 1943. Presented here is a rare recording from the 1949 in which Ms. Carter displays her formidable skills with both Chopin and Liszt.
    Apparently she even tutored actress Joan Fontaine in 1950 for a movie roll....
    This reel consists of 3 different musical numbers - Just Paulena Carter at her Piano  in a darkened room (see pix) - playing her heart out.
    1)  A composition by Chopin - I didn't catch the title....
    2) Etude in G Flat Major - by Chopin
    3) Hungarian Rhapsody #2 - (abridged) by
    Franz Liszt
