Silents Talk: The List

Below is a list of articles showcasing the voices and talkei careers of various silent film stars. With this series it is my sincerest hope to debunk the talkie myth (the belief that silent film stars all faltered because of funny voices when talkies came). Each article contains a talkie filmography, either film or sound clips from each star, and a verdict. This list will be updated when new articles are posted. If you have a silent star clip you'd like to share please contact us.
