I just love interesting facts and nonsense:
"In 1917, more than a decade before the first talking films, inventor Charles Pidgin patented a breakthrough way to stimulate speech on screen.
Before filming, balloons made of rubber or any other suitable material are concealed in each performer's mouth.
The balloons are imprinted with dialogue and characters simply blow up their balloons on cue, allowing their lines to be read just as if they were comic strip figures."
from: The Book of Lists
By: David Wallechinsky & Amy Wallace
Isn't this just a great invention and must have been absolutely hilarious to watch and experience. A real first of its time!
In today's terms it could even be seen as contemporary art.
If you decide to re-enact this out on YouTube please let me know the link:
