Pianists and organists would play either from sheet music, or improvisation. Sometimes a person would even narrate the inter-title cards for the audience. Though at the time the technology to synchronize sound with the film did not exist, music was seen as an essential part of the viewing experience. "Silent film" is typically used as a historical term to describe an era of cinema ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''How Kitchener Was Betrayed'' is a 1921 British silent war film directed by Percy Nash and starring Fred Paul, Winifred Evans, and Bertram Burleigh. It was a fictional portrayal of the events leading up to the death of Herbert Kitchener on HMS ''Hampshire'' during the First World War in which the German secret service received warning of the general's activities through a German agent Elbie Böcker.
