Die Aufführungen des Films "The Ten Commandments", für deren Begleitmusik auch Bruckners 4. Symphonie verwendet wurde, wird in The Calgary Daily Herald Nr. 4152 (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) auf S. 4 angekündigt:
" ESCAPE OF ISRAEL SHOWN ON SCREEN
Stupendous Film Production Will Appear at the Grand
Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld has arranged the musical score that will be played by an orchestra of twenty at the Grand Theatre, September 3, 4, 5 and 6, twice daily. The first part of the accompaniment, to scenes in Pharaoh's court and the exodus of the Israelites, is of decidedly Oriental flavor.
A big original theme is used for the pursuit by Pharaoh's chariots and the escape of the children of Israel through the divided waters of the Red sea. The director derives the lighter motifs of the ancient story from the romantic Bruckner's Symphony. Accompanying the orgies of the golden calf worship, selections from Rubinstein's "Demon" opera are adapted.
In the modern tale [... über den Schlussteil der Geschichte ...]. The final themes of healing–in the New Testament episode, and the scene of saving Mary from a fate worse than death– are adaptations from "Holy, Holy" and "The Rock of Ages."
