Colleen Moore❤️ in scene from her silent comedy movie “Why Be Good”. Produced by First National Films, 1929. “Why Be Good”is not a completely silent film. The film used the Vitaphone synchronized sound playback system for music, sound effects, and some singing. The Vitaphone system used large record discs that were mechanically synchronized to the playback of the movie projector. The Vitaphone system was superseded by the modern sound on film method a few years later. | ArtDeco.Joe
