How would you like to spend a day (or several) in 1929 with your paints and sketchbook? What I wouldn't give for a time machine.
This is fascinating. I love how well dressed everyone is.
Are the voices higher pitched due to the way they recorded sound back then?
Beautiful. The vet called the Civil War the "war of Rebellion". Interesting.
Mike,
Talkies were brand new in 1929, with movie cameras barely past the hand cranked silent era. For recorded sound to sound "right" it has to record and play back at a highly regulated constant speed. The ability to do that was several years in the future and even then, only available for the professional studios that could afford the best equipment.
