HollyWood Notes!

Hollwood - Sound Film In The 1920's

When sound film was intoduced into hollywood in the 1920's, a constant speed was required for the sound which was 24 frames per second. this was because it was the slowest speed which meant is was the cheapest which allowed for sufficient sound quality.

The Vitaphone system was first embraced by Warner Brothers.  In August 1926, Warner Brothers introduced the first Vitaphone film Don Juan.   Don Juan was the first mainstream film that replaced the traditional use of a live orchestra or organ for the soundtrack. However, in Don Juan there was no dialogue in the film.
