Dickson Experimental Sound Film

The film made in Edison᾽s studio Black Maria was to test the kinetophone – the machine which was both a kinetograph and a phonograph. It shows two men dancing in a tight embrace to violin music played by Dickson himself. He plays straight to the metal horn of the phonograph, recording the music. The picture and the sound were synchronized at the end of the 20th century. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
