1919 Silent Movie ad for Strand Theater - Hastings

The Harvard Courier carried this ad for a major silent movie 

at the Strand Theater in Hastings on November 6, 1919.



The first full-length feature movie with sound was The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson in 1927. Though, recently two talking movies by Thomas Edison from 1913 were found. Those were not commercial enterprises. The prize goes to Jolson.
