Rough...but important.
planktonrules1 July 2019
I found this very early sound experimental short on YouTube. It says that the film is from 1923...imdb says it is from 1926. Either way, it came out shortly before the famous full-length film, "The Jazz Singer"....and so this makes it an important film historically speaking.

The film has a stationary camera and focuses in on Jack Pearl and Ben Bard as they do one of their Vaudeville bits. I must admit that I didn't find it particularly interesting nor funny...but who cares since it IS such an early and very experimental picture?! Worth seeing to historians and film buffs alike.
