I think it’s pushing 100 or at least twice as old as I am. However, I think the acting in todays movies is far better. Ok 78 years old. Wow. I was going by the date of Cecil DeMilles death rather then the date the movie was released. Oops. :) And as to the acting I agree; everything about todays movies is a lot better. :) Mriana said,

I feel foolish because I've played this piece before, and never noticed the similarities to Ave Maria. “Meditation” is apparently an arrangement of both Ave Maria and Bach’s first prelude, written by Gounod.

And I think monkeymind is right, it could be played a theremin - though I'm not sure that instrument was around that far back.

Mriana,
Thanks for the links. If any of those were enforced, they could then be struck down as unconstitutional fairly easily when challenged in court. I’m glad that none of those are my state… still dispicable though.

You’re welcome and absolutely right too.

Here is one of its pages listing the amazing number of state constitutions that carry discriminatory clauses. http://www.religioustolerance.org/texas.htm Several of them have to this day requirements for public officials to certify that they believe in God. These were all made officially null and void in a Supreme Court case in the astonishingly recent date of 1961! Most of the state legislatures have chosen to simply ignore the unconstitutional parts of their constitutions and pretend they're not there probably because to remove them they'd have to go on record "voting against God" so the asinine parts are still there.
