We've got the music in us!
In 1907, the Nickel Theatre (since demolished) was the first theatre on the North American continent to have a live orchestra accompany its silent movies. Maybe that's where Eldon Rathburn, a Saint John raised composer, got his inspiration for the many soundtracks he wrote for award-winning National Film Board films.
