Just acquired a small group of 12 inch 78 rpm records with 20th Century Fox 
labels noting 'for rehearsal purposes only'.

The first one is from STARS AND STRIPES - 1954 and includes Debra Paget 
singing 'FATHER'S GOT 'EM' and the flip side an instrumental snippet of 
'HAIL TO THE CHIEF'.

The other two are from THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS - 1954, the 
first featuring a short version of MARIE and the flip side is a noisy 
instrumental called CALL ME UP SOME RAINY AFTERNOON.  The 2nd of these is 
one sided, featuring Marilyn Monroe singing AFTER YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT.  I 
looked on YouTube and there is a video clip from this movie showing her 
singing this song and dancing.  Seems to be the same tune she is 
lip-synching to in the video clip.

Question -   Are these what would be played during filming so the performers 
could sing and dance in time to the soundtrack?  That would be pretty cool 
to think that Marilyn Monroe and Debra Paget actually might have listened to 
these records while making the movies!

Any info would be appreciated!  Thanks!
