Silent Films

Nice one Mable, I put a link to Charlie Chaplin on Birmingham Cinemas a couple of days ago same sort of thing and thats good.:)
 
I have a box of old 1930's silent films including a few Charlie Chaplin in 9.5 mm film which is an obsolete guage where the sprocket holes go down the centre of the of the film strip, this gives a full size picture as apposed to 8mm & 16mm which have sprocket holes down the side so the picture is reduced. As I recall I have the Pawnbroker, The Rink, & without getting the box out I can't remember what others are but it's been a long time since i last ran them on my projector.
