Narrator: In New York's Tenderloin District in 1909, the many criminal-infested dives presented a grave problem to the law enforcement agencies of the day. it was during this time that a young songwriter, Edward Madden, while working as an undercover agent for the government, found himself posing as a member of the underworld. Properly dismayed because his duties confined him to these dismal surroundings, Eddie's dreams were of more pleasant places and things. Being a songwriter, his dreams found their way into the words of a song to which the beloved Gus Edwards furnished the music. A song that was to become one of the all-time favorites of both young and old alike. By the Light of the Silvery Moon.

There's Money In Moonshine

In 1929, Warner Brothers, flush with cash from early talkie pictures, purchased three music publishers. Not only were the thousands of copyrights these companies held and still hold very profitable, but they provided a deep well of music for Warners Brother musicals and soundtracks.

In the late 1940s, Warner Brothers also turned out three sing-along short subjects. Sing-alongs were long a popular feature of vaudeville houses, which also featured early movies; live entertainment during movie shows often incorporated sing-alongs, and the Fleischers introduced their Screen Songs in 1924, two years before Jolson sang for the Warner Brothers.

As the title of this short indicates, this short features songs which include the word 'moon' in their titles. It also includes clips from old Warner Brothers musicals where they sang these songs. Thus, at one stroke, this movie advertises Warner Brothers properties, and fills ten minutes in a movie show cheaply.
