In the library of US congress is archived the first movie with sound of the history in nineteen twenty three. It was filmed in New York and the main actor was Conchita Piquer, a Valencian folklorica singer. It happened four years before shooting the movie "the jazz singer" by Alan Crosland which was officially considered the first movie by historians.
It is treated of a movie of eleven minutes which was shot by Lee Deforest where Conchita Piquer makes recitations in Andalusian and Aragonese style, besides a recitation in Portuguese, so it is the first film with sound in Portuguese.
The movie was showed in the Tivoli cinema in New York in 1923, the artist accompanies her songs with dances and castanets.
All this was thank to eighty-year-old man collector who had kept it, until he decided to donate it to the library congress. And finally Concha Piquer recuperated the copyright of the film.

(1) better: US Library of Congress
(2) Perhaps "performer" is better here.
(3) I remembered that this is what the first movies with sound were called.
It's amazing that the first use of this technology was for songs in foreign languages.
in "talking picture" is "talking" a noun, adjective or participle?
ReplyDeleteI don't know the exact grammatical terms, but it is acting as an adjective.
