Silent Film
A silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound (or more generally, no audible dialogue). Though silent films convey narrative and emotion visually, various plot elements (such as a setting or era) or key lines of dialogue may, when necessary, be conveyed by the use of title cards. The term "silent film" is something of a misnomer, as these films were almost always accompanied by live sounds. During the silent era that existed from the mid-1890s to the late 1920s, a pianist, theater organist—or even, in large cities, a small orchestra—would often play music to accompany the films. 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 pri ...

Victor Lundberg (actor)
Victor Lundberg (September 2, 1923 , Grand Rapids, Michigan – February 14, 1990) was an American radio personality, best known for a spoken-word record called " An Open Letter to My Teenage Son", which became an unlikely Top 10 hit in 1967. "An Open Letter to My Teenage Son" While a newscaster at Grand Rapids radio station WMAX, Lundberg released "An Open Letter" in September 1967. The lyrics, written by Robert R Thompson and produced by Jack Tracy, imagine the narrator talking to his teenage son. (In real life, Lundberg had at least one male teenager in his household at the time.) Lundberg touches on hippies, the Vietnam War, and patriotism. The record, a voice-over, spoken over "Battle Hymn of the Republic", after empathizing, somewhat, with a number of the typical teenage concerns of the day, memorably ends with Lundberg telling his son that if he burns his draft card, then he should "burn isbirth certificate at the same time. From that moment on, I have no son." " ...
