Articles On Silent Movies

Although the idea of including sound in movies was in the minds of
film companies from the very beginning, the technology wasn’t
available to incorporate sound until the late 1920s. In the early
days of film, silent movies were very popular and created stars such
as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and John Barrymore. And while a
selection of these classic films remain today, it’s estimated that
upwards of 90 percent have been lost throughout the years.

An article published in a 1922 issue of Smart Set discusses
the low morals of movies and compares them to the grandness of opera
and theater: “There is in it, from beginning to end, not a trace of
the sweeping manner of that of grand opera, not a trace of the gay
adventure and spectacularity of that of the stage, not a trace of
the wistful charm of that of the atelier.” This article, and all
