A Sound Film Without Sound
Only the visual elements are known to survive from this 1908 recording of a duet from Franz von Suppe's early one-act operetta. As is usual with these recordings, the principal performers take center stage, face the camera directly, and let fly. There are other cast members in the background, providing a drunken chorus.
Franz von Suppe was one of those 19th century Romantic composers whom you may know if you like old cartoons; his overture to Poet and the Peasant" was a favorite of Walter Lantz' staff, and bits of his overture to "Light Cavalry" make good incidental music. He's one of thoe composers whose works, if you're a fan of classical music, you'll recognize, even if you can't pput a name to the composer.
