Life-like? Really? I think this guy got a job making anti-Obama ads.
Puppets Stage Shows for Children
SEVEN years of experiment were required to bring to perfection the life-like puppets shown in the series of pictures above. They are the work of Blake Wagner, Hollywood motion picture cameraman. He uses the puppets in giving shows. The same stunt has proved a money-maker for many men out of employment, who are able to arrange with department stores to give entertainments in their children’s departments.

Aside from the racial stereotyping, I do wonder why this type of puppet (operated by strings from above) has been all but completely replaced by the operated by hand from below.

dejal: If you have a problem, then don’t click on the link. Shopsin’s political views have nothing to do with how good his website is. As far I’m concerned, he could post links to wingnut sites like FreeRepublic and the Drudge Report and it still wouldn’t matter.

All I can say is that they must have had some pretty interesting ideas of what constituted “lifelike” back then…
