Color?
I saw flashes of green in the swirling skirts of the chorus girls who backed the singer. This may have been an attempt to reproduce faded stencil color, on the other hand, it might have been an artifact of the upload or my computer.
We think of sound films as beginning in the 1920s, but there had been experiments thirty years earlier. From 1906-1910, Deutsch Bioskop produces a series of three-minute musical shorts. In this one, as is typical, the singer enters, takes center stage, and sings face on to the camera. Primitive sound and camera equipment made moving around impossible.
There was one studio in Berlin equipped to show these films, although doubtless they were shown elsewhere on occasion. Nonetheless, their limited exposure and the long gap between them and the rise of more commercial,sound movies in the 1920s has made them an early, technical bypath of film history.
