芝加哥的早期電影
早期的影片即短又安靜
,所以,默片多為不需對話或音效,即可娛樂觀眾的特技或動物表演。默片的一開始或結尾,通常是一段輕歌舞表演,這樣一來,不論拍攝場景是在劇場內或劇場外,噪音都不會打擾到正在享受表演的其他人。前一段的影片內容及這一段的影片內容,都是1900年代早期,在芝加哥拍攝完成的,它們都屬於典型的早期影片。


Early films were both short and silent, so "dumb" acts were acrobatic or animal acts that were entertaining without any dialogue or sound effects. "Dumb" acts were usually at the beginning or end of a vaudeville show, when people were filing in or out of the theater and noise did not prevent others from enjoying the performance. The film on the previous page as well as the film on this one are typical of the kinds of early films produced in Chicago in the early 1900s.
