Before movies and recordings gave musicals a degree of permanence, all that existed was live performance. People streamed into vaudeville houses, theaters, and concert halls for their musical entertainment. But by the late nineteenth century, a nascent mass entertainment industry was appearing. In 1877 Thomas Alva Edison invented a cylinder “talking machine,” advertising that “it talks, it laughs, it plays, it sings!” By 1889 he has devised a “kinetoscope,” a machine in which fifty feet of 35-mm positive film revolved on a spool: when a coin (a nickel) was dropped in a slot, an electric light flashed on the film; a tiny motor moved the film frame by frame so that a viewer looking through the peephole would see a cavalcade of images in motion. Musical performers were among the first filmed, their movements flickering across tiny screens.
