It sent chills up my spine when he spilled the bit about ''100 years from now.'' Alas, in reality, it is nothing short of a miracle that this clip survives.
Actually I think that a part of the film is missing. At 1'00, the plate which is on the table disappears. I know that the film - as it was originally presented - included a part in which this man demonstrated several sound effects, by playing piano and breaking plates. It's not shown here. Does this part survive?
I'd like to see more Kinetophone's, the ones that survive. I had one taped off of a documentary hosted by Jamie Lee Curtis in the early 90s. The tape was in one of my VCRs when my house was robbed. It was a scene of a group of actors in a scene on a stage with camera angle almost like a Busby Berkeley musical. Thanks for uploading.
One hundred years from now...1912+100 hmmmm... oh shit! 2012!

His physiological gestures and vocalized accented syntax is quite amusing. It's crazy to believed that it was Filmed 99 years ago!

Thank you so much for posting that film - kinetophone films are so hard to find!
How did you find this one? Have you seen some other movies produced with that process?
