hlywdkjk Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 h3. Moguls And Movie Stars Miscellany Two Travelling Exhibitors Stock Posters (1905) In 1903, Walter Barnsdale of Wisconsin closed up his bicycle shop and decided to go on the road, exhibiting motion pictures to rural audiences. Armed with a generator - these were the days when many areas lacked electrical power - Barnsdale showed a variety of shorts and features, firmly establishing himself in the entertainment business (he wasn't the only member of the family to entertain the public. Walter's brother, Frank, was a circus midget who toured with Ringling Brothers dressed in a Revolutionary War costume as General Tom Thumb). Recognized as one of the pioneers of the motion picture industry, Barnsdale did as much to popularize the emerging medium of motion pictures as Edison, the Lumiere Brothers, or any of the other leading cinema exhibitors. (1911) Produced by the Thanhouser Film Corporation, there is little known about this silent short. The flood the title is referring to occurred in Austin, Texas on September 30, 1911. A result of the Bayless Pulp & Paper Dam collapse, the devastation was so great, few people thought that Austin would be rebuilt. Link to post Share on other sites
