Скачать или смотреть 1924 RCA Film: Riding the Waves of Radio | 16mm Scan

We do not have Part 1, unfortunately; which sets up Rip being woken up and such. The silent (soundtrack added) film follows a cartoon Rip Van Winkle and the 'Spirit of Radio', who ride the radio waves to New York and hear all the different programs, be it a football game or a religious broadcast.

This 16mm print date code is 1925. While the Pathescope "25 years of cinema supremacy" would indicate 1922 original release, the shot at 5:58 is the 1924 DNC; meaning it was released in 1924 or 1925. Upon further research I believe the proper title to be "The Re-awakening of Rip Van Winkle". https://archive.org/details/1000oneth...

An old Library of Congress page mentions them having a (partial?) copy on same reel as Fleischer's "NOW YOU'RE TALKING". After mentions of Fleischer's art and looking into it more, I think it probably wasn't done by them.

'Travel Film Archives' has a video with much of "Part 1" but lacking other sections.

Put in a lot of corrections. Film was quite shrunken/warped throughout and with damage to the film base. Did deflickering and multiple levels of stabilization to try and clear it up, along with other adjustments.
