His physiological gestures and vocalized accented syntax is quite amusing. It's crazy to believed that it was Filmed 99 years ago!
-
Coming in loud and clear 1912! You're right. There really is no end to the possiblities of this invention. If you could only hear and see us now. ; )
-
"100 years from now" i dont think his prediction will last;)
-
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?
-
do you know when in 1912 this was recorded?

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.

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.
