Age of the Silver Screen
Dedicated to movies of the silent era, including silent stars and films, silent comedy & horror, books about the silent era, history of silent cinema and DVDs.
The idea of combining motion pictures with recorded sound is nearly as old as film itself, but because of the technical challenges involved, most films were silent before the late 1920s. The silent film era is sometimes referred to as the Age of the Silver Screen.
