Line 9: ==Phonokinema Overshadowed by Other Systems== Phonokinema was soon overshadowed by the [[Lee De Forest]] [[Phonofilm]] [[sound-on-film]] system which premiered in [[New York City]] on [[15 April]] [[1923]]. Phonofilm was itself overtaken by the [[Vitaphone]] sound-on-disc system, premiered in New York with ''[[Don Juan (1926 film)\|Don Juan]]'' on [[6 August]] [[1926]], and by other [[sound-on-film]] systems such as [[Fox Film Corporation\|Fox]] [[Movietone sound system\|Movietone]] in 1927 and [[RCA Photophone]] in 1928. According to [[Internet Movie Database]], two low-budget [[Western (genre)\|Western]]s released in 1930, ''Sagebrush Politics'' and ''The Apache Kid's Escape'', the latter film with Western star [[Jack Perrin]], were the last two films released in the Phonokinema system. In 1982, Kellum's widow donated the surviving films made with the Phonokinema process to the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
