Even when movies were silent (no spoken dialogue, but music was played in the theater, often by an organist or pianist), people loved them. They were a wonderful escape for the audience, taking them to distant worlds, showing them romance, action, and even news. In the era before television, people could either read a book or newspaper, or listen to the radio; but if they wanted to see the characters they were reading about or listening to, the only way to do so was to go to a play, or see a movie. The public was fascinated with the moving images on the screen, and when talking pictures were perfected in 1927-1928, that made the movie-going experience even more enjoyable.
