Line 14: On [[15 April]] [[1923]], DeForest premiered 18 short films made in Phonofilm -- presenting vaudeville acts, musical performers, [[opera]], and [[ballet]] -- at the Rivoli Theater in New York City. The printed program for this presentation gave credit to the "DeForest-Case Patents". However, according to a letter written to DeForest immediately after the event by [[Theodore Case]], no credit was given to Case during DeForest's presentation. Case also states in the letter how displeased he is with DeForest crediting the "DeForest-Case Patents", as Phonofilm's success was fully due to the work of Case and his Case Research Lab. DeForest was forced to show these films in independent theaters such as the Rivoli, since Hollywood movie studios controlled all major U.S. movie theater chains at the time. De Forest's decision to film primarily short films (one reel), not One of the few two-reel films made by DeForest in the Phonofilm process was ''Love's Old Sweet Song'' (1923), starring the 17-year-old [[Una Merkel]]. DeForest kept to one-reel films because he was unable to solve the problem of reel changes -- and the disruption in sound which would occur -- when a projectionist in a movie theater changed reels. ==Development of Phonofilm== |
