Holly in Love
“SAID THE LECTURER, “the first thing you must understand about silent movies is that they were never silent. Movie houses often had full orchestras, or at least a string quartet. Even the most rural movie house had its theater organ or its piano with organ pipes attached to double the notes on a flute and piccolo. The organ always had drums, thumps, foghorns, and sirens. Cowbells, tubas, traps, and xylophones could be built into the organ. Even newsreels were accompanied, as they were silent rig...ht into the nineteen-thirties.”
I love to listen to people who love their subject. It’s so neat to find out the things that interest people. Here was this elderly man up there at the organ (clearly leftover from silent movie days) and here lecturing was this young woman, who was entranced by the whole thing. Someday I will be giving lectures on something, I thought, and I will be so enthusiastic about my subject my listeners will be riveted to my words, just like this.
