Male Civilian Stands Next to a Large Light, 1920s. '...we created our celluloid make-believe not with wide screen and silver stereophonic speech, but with simple mime and golden silence. Yet even with the technical limitations of the twenties, the magic of the movie maker was powerfully effective. Ingenious too were his devices...all done with mirrors'.
