THE WORLD'S WRITE HAND

Year Published: 1928

Description: Grab your pocket protector and step on back to 1928! In this once-lost silent promotional film, see all the benefits of Waterman's variety of 'Number 7' fountain pens, suitable for anyone from a freight checker to a secretary. The $7 they advertised would be over $130 today! The magazine in the accountant's coat pocket reads "October 1927", so accounting for production time I believe early 1928 would be the release date. Earliest reference I could find in document archives is May of 1928. "Martha Madison" (Martha O'Dwyer) appeared to be a real actress/writer, but I am not sure of any of the other actors - let me know if you recognize them! This reel was multiple different stocks on one reel, some parts were better condition than others. Put in a lot of corrections cleaning up and making sure this film is presented in the best light I could, too many to list!Played back at the "standard" 16mm silent speed of 16 FPS. Captions of transcribed title cards added so Youtube can better help the film find its audience, as well as auto-translation for non-English speakers. *Regarding usage of corrected scan, please reach out* Soundtrack compiled & set by me, using 1920s songs available from the LoC.
