I actually haven't seen this one. Thanks for posting

Wasn't it some kind of hearing device? At least according to some sources. Of course we cannot know that for sure.

Did they actually have movie making equipment in the 1920's??

FFS

Not THIS shit again...

It goes way back to the 1880s ;)
Here's the first piece of film shown to an audience. Some people say that the audience dodged while the train was coming towards them thinking it will crash into them.

It was most likely a hearing device

There is very little in this world creepier than Pre-1910 film.

I hope you were not serious.

Thx for posting OP! I'm going to look into this since I work at a Deaf agency and am a HOH Specialist.... I clicked on the hearing aide museum link someone posted...and I've seen those devices be4 - but this one seems to be rectangle like one of those bigger older cell phones that first came out. I'm also going to keep my eye on old classic black n white movies as well - since I love them.

Maybe this was a warning After The Fact you identified.

Wow!!! Good find! I wonder if there are any connections there - that's a lot of children that died... sacrificial for something... We had a 13th president at that time - what was going on ?

old ass news

exactly lol

Ok it could be a hearing aid ,but why does he appear to be talking into it ,ive slowed it down and blown it up but he appears to be talking into what is in his hand .

Yes, that's what it looks like - he was talking into it

I have watched this at least 20 times .
I believe it was a hearing device as well .
( although the dreamer in me wants to believe dream of time travel the realist in me knows different ) .

OP - Michael Jackson is dead too.

no kidding.

been done...and debunked.

It's extremely plausible that was indeed a telephone of sorts, but it wasn't a cell phone.

Nikola Tesla had been working on Wardenclyff since the early 1900s and had been toying with broadcasting signals in Colorado Springs for several years before that.

One of the biggest things he touted was that once completed the World System tower in NY would permit someone to use a device no larger than a wristwatch to pick up transmitted images, make calls to land line phones at the time, and even dictate writing as to print in an office the worker making said dictation was miles away.

More than likely it was a Tesla prototype and Chaplin found it interesting, deciding to add it in, or he knew Tesla, which wouldn't shock me considering Tesla was at one point the most interesting man in the states.

No shock here at all, no time travel possible. Most people just don't know that wireless communication was invented over 100 years ago by Tesla. If we would have listened to him back then the world would have been a much more advanced place much more quickly. We'd be in flying cars and more than likely have interstellar communication right now, along with unlimited energy.

Alas, the world shunned Tesla as he was a man out of time, and then TPTB silenced his works and made him practically unknown to society. There is a reason his Dynamic Theory of Gravity is classified.

You surprise every once in a while, AC, by displaying good solid information on a subject, as you do with Tesla. Now if you'd just ditch the Mr. Hyde part of your personality and writing, you could positively affect a lot of people on this Forum. Keep up the good work.
