Articles On Silent Movies

Although the idea of including sound in movies was in the minds of film companies from the very beginning, the technology wasn't available to incorporate sound until the late 1920s. In the early days of film, silent movies were very popular and created stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and John Barrymore.
