From sound without pictures–radio–to pictures without sound–silent films.
Yesterday I co-hosted the Duck Soup Cinema vaudeville with veteran emcee Joe Thompson onstage at the Capitol Theater in Madison prior to the showing of Mantrap starring “It Girl” Clara Bow.
Actually, silent films played to the sound of the theater organ, and the Duck soup showing of Mantrap featured the Grand Barton Organ, played throughout by composer and virtuoso Jelani Eddington.
