EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1916, we are transported back in time to the early days of movie making. Actor Edward Hugh Sothern takes center stage as he is skillfully directed by Fred Thomson for the Vitagraph production of The Chattel. Dressed impeccably in a stylish suit and boater hat, Sothern exudes an air of sophistication and charm. Surrounded by a dedicated crew, including a cameraman capturing every moment on an old-fashioned movie camera, the scene unfolds within an intricately designed interior set. A cushioned chair provides comfort for Sothern during breaks between takes, while a stack of books hints at the intellectual depth that actors like him brought to their craft. The sepia-toned image adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from cinematic history. It serves as a reminder of how far filmmaking has come since those early days when silent films ruled the silver screen. This print captures not only the artistry involved in creating movies but also pays homage to the pioneers who paved the way for today's filmmakers. It is a testament to their dedication and passion that continues to inspire generations of storytellers.
