Also found in catalog #534758 B/W re-creation footage, c. 1940s, that shows Alexander Graham Bell speaking to an audience describing the future potential of the telephone. Pretty cheap-looking recreation, actor playing Bell looks very much like a young Hume Cronyn. Great telephone montage showing early telephone systems, switchboard operators busy at work and telephone lines (poles) stretching across the country.
