At a time of economic uncertainty, when so many people were out of work and the future looked grim, movies provided much-needed escape. People would save their pennies so they could go to a theater-- and even a local theater (sometimes spelled "theatre" back then) was often elegant, with plush seats, ornate decorations, and beautiful chandeliers. There were also professionally dressed ushers, who called the customers "sir" and "ma'am." For a couple of hours, people could feel pampered, forget their problems, and lose themselves in the plot of a movie. And back then, you not only saw one movie-- you might also see a newsreel, a stage presentation by a live performer, and a cartoon.

When is the harp used?
The harp is usually a percussion/effects instrument when used in an orchestra. It can sound like a variety of drums (the strings aren't the only things that can make noise!). There is an effect called 'pan's flute' which isn't anything like the actual flute instrument. It involves running your hand up the wire bass strings to make a whistling noise. The harp is a popular instrument in motion pictures and movies. The glissando can make it sound like the character is falling down stairs, or announce the entrance of a fairy. The harp is a popular wedding instrument, but is also popular at other events.
