Two documentaries on the Artistic and Technical Birth of Sound and Color Movies

- La Cucaracha (1934)
- two 1908 films with songs performed by Enrico Caruso
- 1927 interview with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
- an example of a "part-talkie" as an episode of the silent serial "The Collegians"
- the first hand painted Lumiere films from the end of the nineteenth century
- a vintage stenciled-colored Paris fashion review from the mid-1920's
- color film images of the Marx Borthers shot in 1930
