Thanks Mark, but yes the enquiry is aimed at folks who have seen the film
rather than those who can cut and paste discographical listings :o)))

Anyway the enquirer (who has seen the film) indicates Poor Butterfly
'record' is instrumental and he has ruled out Fritz Kreisler (1917), Victor
Marching Band (1916), Joseph C Smith Orch (1917) and Paul Whiteman (1920)
versions, he says the film track is a more orchestral and melodic foxtrot,
so it may not be a 'period' recording (the film is set in WWI).
