Milt Franklyn
Milton J. "Milt" Franklyn (September 16, 1897 – April 24, 1962) was a musical composer and arranger who worked on the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated cartoons.
==Career==
Franklyn moved from New York to Salt Lake City at the age of three, where he went to high school and finished one year at the University of Utah. He was the state junior tennis champion in Utah for six years.〔''Oakland Tribune'', June 30, 1929〕 The next two years were spent at the University of California, Berkeley, then he began a term at Pennsylvania University when he was called to service in World War One. Franklyn did not serve overseas; he trained as a naval officer for three months and then the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. He returned to Berkeley to finish his education.〔Long Beach Independent, June 30, 1957〕
As Franklyn could play a number of instruments, he joined a band in San Francisco and for the next few years played at the Palace and St. Francis hotels. He began his own nine-piece orchestra, known at various times as the Peninsula Band, the Super Soloists, and the Merrimakers, and appeared in San Mateo (1926 to June 1927), where he also owned a music store,〔''San Mateo Times'', December 2, 1926〕 and San Jose (1928 to January 1929), where he was Master of Ceremonies and wrote revues for the California Theatre〔''San José Evening News'', Oct 27, 1928〕 before moving on to Fresno and Oakland. For two years he was emcee with Fanchon and Marco at Fox West Coast in San Diego; musical director and emcee with Paramount Publix Corporation, travelling to Seattle, Denver, Houston and Toledo; and finally worked on the Loew's circuit in Providence, Rhode Island and New York City from 1933 to 1935. Franklyn quit vaudeville to go to Hollywood in 1935 and spent a year doing occasional work.
In early 1936, he joined Warner Bros. as music arranger to Carl Stalling, becoming music director in 1953. The first cartoon with Franklyn credited as a composer was ''Bugs and Thugs'', released in 1954, though Franklyn estimated at the time his 599th cartoon for Warners was ''Past Perfumance''.〔''Long Beach Independent'', August 15, 1954〕 Franklyn always composed his scores at home early in the morning; he only went to the studio to watch the 30-piece Warner Bros. Orchestra record the music or to view the finished cartoon. Among the songs Franklyn is said to have composed with director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese is ''The Michigan Rag'' for the 1955 cartoon ''One Froggy Evening'', featuring Michigan J. Frog.〔''The Warner Bros. Cartoons'', Friedwald and Beck, 1981.〕 However, the ASCAP database lists only Maltese as the composer. He became the sole composer in 1958 upon Stalling's retirement.
