Message: [QUOTE="Dan Kappes, post: 409301, member: 166083"] I wanted to ask this question here in the Gilded Age section because I didn't quite know where to put it. I think it belongs here as motion pictures first came into being during this era. Motion Pictures were developed in the final two decades of the 19th century, but sound films didn't come about until 1927's [I]The Jazz Singer[/I]. Did it take longer to develop the microphone than the film camera? The first silent films about the Titanic were [I]Saved from the Titanic [/I] and [I]In Nacht Und Eis[/I], which were both released a few months after the sinking, but the first sound film about the Titanic was released in 1929 and titled [I]Atlantic.[/I] [/QUOTE]
