Time Travel: to the 1920s

[str009]

My grandmother will be a hundred years old in 2012. This was the world she grew up in. One of the few remaining who saw it with her own eyes. When there were no planes in the sky, no television, and the world smelled like horses. It's amazing to think of the changes she's lived through, and trying to explain records, dial telephones, and library reference cards to my great-grandkids.

[NCeddie]

@str009 Yes, I think you have grasped the whole reason I call this Time Travel.

Your comment showed me you are thinking about it from both directions!

[mrsmagloo]

ITA. Old films, photos, and memories are the only true form of backward time travel. Oh, and the most famous of all: looking and photographing the night sky. Every star you are looking at is light that is billions of years old, and no longer exists in that state.

[carreterito]

But what you don't know is that she had an iPhone is her pocket.

[freakahurt]

oh god shes dead and OLD

[AbrudanDorin]

@freakahurt she's dead omg.

[Daisycutt3r]

back then 240p was high res!

[Aeronauticalexplorer]

0:12 they started to have a 4sum

[iamatumor]

Hahaha for a second i thougt what it had been like if there had been a youtube in the 20s...

hmm....

[NCeddie]

@iamatumor

Yeah! Then this little clip would have been posted 90 years ago by a contemporary fan of these silent stars!

[joshanator1]

Where's Less Paul. He was Mary's Husband.

[maurici265]

what is the inusual in this video?

[awamrblack]

Never mind the traveling to the 20's why are these women making out??????LOL

[louietheduke]

awesome video :D these old films makes me feel have sad and have happy. The happy part is the nostalgic the sad part is,everyones gone :(

[Stugazo21]

YAAAAAAAA Lesbian Action!!!

[gojirazilla1]

Who's that guy in the background, I think I've seen him around the same age in another movie in the 70's?  Wish I could remember.... but I think he was wearing the same style of clothes too... well not 100% sure though.

[jaymorpheus11]

Cool, before there were crackheads, even older the women looked a bit better.

[missunshinejaq]

I just traveled back in time to 1920 ...

watching this video :))

ThankX :))

[NCeddie]

@missunshinejaq

Atta girl!!!

[GeoStrum3]

So what? Did not get this video.

[mohit2bali]

Just think, 100 years from now someone will see a photo of Lady GaGa amongst normal people and think SHE was a time traveler!!!

[NoIDidunt10]

Its always such a weird feeling I get whenI see movie clips from the 1920s and 1930s,knowing everyone on film is dead and everything in the film no longer exists.It truly is like travelling back in time 

[NCeddie]

@NoIDidunt10

I think you get it completely!

[CrashBandikoot7]

@NoIDidunt10 not everyone is dead.. not everything disapears..

[Napp28]

@NoIDidunt10

I 100% agree with you. Watching movies that are pre-1920's means everyone in the film is dead -- the older ppl in the films have been LONG dead! Watch an episode of I Love Lucy - aside from little Ricki, we're laughing at the images of ppl who haven't existed in yrs. 2012 will mark 100 yrs since the Titanic sunk - no one left alive from that "memory" in time.

[Mattwad]

@NoIDidunt10

And one day people will be looking at pictures of our time.. while we're all dead. Crazy

[DCFunBud]

So lovely! May they live forever!

[magnicthecracken]

MAN I WISH I COULD TRAVEL TO THE YEAR 1976 TO MEET AC/DC THEN TRAVEL TO THE YEAR 1977 TO MEET BON SCOTT THEN TRAVEL TO THE YEAR 1978 TO MEET ANGUS YOUNG AND GO BACK TO 1976,1977,1978, AND 1979 AND WHEN IM DONE I WILL GO BACK TO 2011 BUT I THINK I WILL BRING MY CAMERA FIRST TO TAKE A PICTURE FOR A REMEMBRANCE!

[NCeddie]

@magnicthecracken

As I was born in 1951, I won't make those particular trips back in time with you. As they say, "been there, done that." I prefer to travel back to before my own time.

[AdamCartwrightILoveU]

@NCeddie ,

I'm with you on that. I was born in 68 but would love to go back to the late 1800s to early 1900s just for a visit though, because we were all born & live in our own era because that's where we belong. but sure wou;ld be nice to spend a few days in another era. this was a great post thanks for sharing I have a Fashionation with the past watch & read anything & everything I can about it.

[kezadrone]

@magnicthecracken Good point at least we'd be able to get a good f**king tune back then.

[waterhouse221]

Problem #1. Your camera will not work in 1979 as digital camera technology was still in it's infancy. So, you will have to take a "film" camera. ( a thin cellulose ribbon coated with a light sensitive silver halide solution, product of the early to late 19th and 20th centuries)

Problem #2. Transporting any item not surrounded by flesh will render said item null as a result of molecular demictianization. Therefore you will have to insert film canister into a body cavity. Good luck processing it

[louisa1832]

Oh, thank you for taking me there! God bless them all.

[mandydancerful]

That is priceless,I love the movies I have seen with them in it,but this clip was just real life with real friends.I wish there were more like this!

[silverscreenmovies]

Nice clip

[Bluebonnett52]

Lillian and Dorothy are still inseperable. I believe they are buried next to each other in New York City.

[NCeddie]

Yes, Lillian, Dorothy and their mother, Mary share a crypt within Saint Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, Manhattan, NYC.

[tdell1275]

Very nice. I guess Lillian and Dorothy were inseperable at this time.

[PismoBeach]

Insightful, and so TRUE, your comment.

[cristopherleon21]

que hermosas imagenes de estas divas

lastima que el video dure tan poco

amo a lillian gish y a mary pickford

[WFHermans]

Thank you so much, this is beautiful!

[whoomsa]

This was just beautiful! Thankyou

[ManilaSyndicate]

Nice backing music and description of the vid too. It truly is quite moving and haunting, highlighting the wonder of film.

[ManilaSyndicate]

Wonderful vid, NCeddie. It's nice to see a candid film of Lillian from so long ago, she looked much more pleasant in real life than her photos and films would show. A beauty too - one of my all-time muses.

Where'd you get this lil' gem?

[creamofcardstv]

You video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on 1920's movie star trading cards when you have time.

[deketelaere]

I'am happy to be the first to send you a comment on your trip to the past. Greta Garbo appreciated Gish's sisters and Mary Pickford, as you know it.

Thank you.

Deketelaere-Ciccione,

[deketelaere]

Beautiful document!

Thank you.

Deketelaere-Ciccione.

[NCeddie]

And thank you for viewing my little trip to the past.

Your valued comment is extra-special as it is the FIRST (and at present, only) comment I've ever received on YouTube.
