And now for a post I’ve been eager to share!

Jacob Edwards — also called “Jack” — immigrated to the U.S. from North Wales in 1905 at the age of 17. After meeting Hermina (herself an immigrant, from what was then Austria-Hungary), they married in 1915 and Jacob spent his career working as a motion picture operator at the once-grand, now-demolished Michigan Theatre in Detroit.

Recently, the Edwards’ granddaughter Janet and I discovered that Jacob’s cinema career actually began even earlier — as a narrator for silent films!

Janet had inherited this framed movie poster naming her grandfather as the “greatest boy lecturer in the world.” After researching, I learned that early in the silent film era, before typed title cards were standard, it was the job of “lecturers” to explain and interpret the plot for audiences in real time. (The sordid topic of this film — “the slums of NY” — was a common film trope at the dawn of the 20th century, as immigration and industrialization rapidly swelled urban populations and prompted the development of tenements.)

Janet has graciously loaned the print to me for display in the Edwards House, where it was my honor to hang it in the foyer. I truly love collecting and sharing these bits of history with all of you. 💕

PS: I think I need a t-shirt that says “endorsed by press and public”! 😍
