The Voice of the Air Promo

Year Published: 1929

Description: This film was 'lost' as far as I can tell. Silent, soundtrack added. Come along and keep up with the Joneses, it's time to buy a new Majestic Radio since the neighbors just got one. See how a door-to-door salesman would rope you around, then off on a trip to their Chicago plant to see how they're made.

I was unable to uncover any information about this film. Date code on the film is 1928, but production numbers line up with '29. With the ending card saying "Come inside for a demonstration of the new Majestic", perhaps this was made for/shown at events like the Chicago Radio Show?

The radio prominently featured is the Majestic Model 92. Chicagology has a good collection of Majestic materials of this time - https://chicagology.com/silentmovies/grigsbygrunow/

This film was in quite rough shape and the print was overexposed. I pulled as much detail out of highlights as I could, which consequently does increase visibility of scratches. Corrected print lighting uniformity, framing, registration, also de-flickering. + scene by scene exposure/contrast adjustments.
