But I guess any recorded visual motion would qualify as a "movie." What killed it was that the phonorecording process introduced way too much noise to allow the picture to be played back.

THis story, and the one earrlier in the "ahead of their time" list (the one about the "large screen viewer for public speakers, Nov '37) both show people from Germany with a hitler 'stache. Must have been the popular style back then, I suppose.
