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 found in our Jazz listings.
