Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent“, the film has never been, in the full sense of the wor
11、d, silent.

16、th their films such indications of mood as “pleasant“, “sad“, “lively“. The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next. 5.
