A music school at Warner Bros trains stars to finger rather than play while studio artists supply actual music. Errol Fryer imitates guitar for San Antonio, Victor Francen plays piano for The Beast with Five Ringers, and John Garfield mimics concert violin in Humoresque. Many stars lip sync songs written by others.

Brazilians with two to four names are listed by both first and last names in directories. The practice stems from mixed family surnames and the distinctive given name by which individuals are known, says Collier's. This dual listing appears in telephone directories and government records.
