Tell Me Why and the Rise of Motion Pictures
A garbled section recalls Barbara Edison of Richmond Virginia as winner in a quiz and traces the early history of motion pictures from ancient pictures to Edison and Demeny. It notes the first US nickelodeon theaters in the 1900s, early cameras, Muybridge experiments, and the development of roll film and projectors. The piece ends with a prompt asking what the teacher said to the students.
