Hans J. Salter (1896-1994) was never as well known as Max Steiner, Alfred Newman,
Bernard Herrmann, or Miklos Rozsa, but he was a composer or orchestrator on more than 150
movies in a 30-year career. Viennese born and a graduate of that city's Academy of Music, he
was music director of Vienna's Volksoper and later with the Berlin State Opera, before joining
Germany's UFA studios in 1929. He left Germany after Hitler came to power, and in 1937 he
arrived in Hollywood, where he made his career at Universal Pictures. One reason that Salter
never achieved much recognition was that he arrived at Universal just when the studio's fortunes
were on the wane, following its near bankruptcy. It was also common practice at Universal for
music already in its library to be re-used and "tracked" into other composers' work; Salter and
composers such as Frank Skinner and, later, Henry Mancini found their work mixed together,
even if only one person got credit. Salter himself reused parts of Skinner's Son of Frankenstein
score in his Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman (1943), and those same parts turned up in
various Sherlock Holmes films. It was even more confusing during the 1950's when music
department head Joseph Gershenson, an executive but not a composer, signed his name to
scores featuring music by Salter, Mancini, Skinner et al. Salter retired in the mid-1960's, and
spent the last 30 years of his life in obscurity, although in his final years he did assist in the
making of new recordings of some of his 1940's horror movie scores.
