Summary

Description
English: Publicity photo of silent film stars Wallace Beery, Enid Bennett, and Douglas Fairbanks (l to r), in costume for the 1922 film Robin Hood, listening to the horn loudspeaker of a radio in 1923. Radio broadcasting began in 1920 and immediately became very popular; a fascinating new high-tech entertainment in the Roaring 20s. The motion picture industry used radio to promote studio stars such as these.

Caption:"If Richard Coeur de Lion had heard a radio would he have looked like that? And Maid Marian made eyes at it? And Robin Hood listened or shot an arrow at it? Anyhow, this is how Wallace Beery, Enid Bennett, and Douglas Fairbanks in those roles lined up before a loud speaker that evidently isn't as loud as it is big - or we hope so, anyway."

Alterations to image: Removed aliasing artifacts (crosshatched lines) introduced during scanning of original halftone photo using Gimp FFT filter.
