What it’s about. The Edison Quartet perform songs as blacksmiths. This was one of 200 projects produced using the Edison Kinetophone system. The Kinetophone was a fairly complex mechanical means of creating talking pictures. Unlike previous systems, in which actors would be required to lip sync to preexisting recordings on camera, the Kinetophone was one of the earliest film technologies to record sound at the same time as the image.
Who’s in it. The Musical Blacksmiths stars Shirley Mason, O.J. McCormack, Robert Lett and George W. Ballard.
