Line 1: '''Snader Telescriptions''', produced for television in 1951 and 1952, were film versions of popular and classical music performances. Singers, dancers, orchestras, and novelty acts appeared in the Snader musicals. They were produced by Louis D. Snader, a [[Southern California]] theater owner who branched out into television and then real estate. In 1951, exotica musician and organist [[Korla Pandit]] left his [[KTLA]] show ''Adventures in Music'' to work with Snader, resulting in short films which gave Pandit a national TV audience. However, in 1953, problems with contract negotiations prompted Snader to replace Pandit with [[Liberace]], which launched the pianist to fame. Pandit then hosted a show on [[KGO-TV]] in San Francisco. The name "telescriptions" is a [[portmanteau]] of "television" and "transcriptions" (recordings intended for broadcast). Snader's three-minute films are similar to [[Soundies]], miniature musicals filmed in the 1940s. Many telescriptions were later re-edited into television programs and feature films.
