First Words: The Birth of Sound Cinema, 1895-1929
(16mm, 90 min) Al Jolson was not the first to sing on screen, and Mickey Mouse did not star in the first sound cartoon. In reality, sound movies are nearly as old as cinema itself. Travel back in time as this program of rare short films traces the evolution of sound, from the earliest experiments through the transformation of the entire film industry. Selections include variety acts, jazz, cartoons, newsreels and more. Plus! Join us before and after the show for period 78rpm records played live on a real Victrola by collectors Robert Millis and Jeffery Taylor, of the band Climax Golden Twins. The first sound processes relied on early phonographs, and this will let you experience what audiences heard a century ago.
Join us at 7:30pm for Victrola favorites with Robert Millis and Jeffery Taylor. Films begin at 8pm.
