The Inuit people of the Arctic traditionally made snow goggles from carved Caribou bones and sinew. Charley Chaplin declared in 1914 cinema is little more than a fad!

I own a few old silent Chaplin film shorts on 16mm.I’ve had them for years and have never seen the contents of them anywhere else to date. I have no idea what theywould be worth in todays market.. Have been consideringcontacting a film preservation museum to find out more details of just what I have. One of the titles is called“Charlie Spills The Beans”. I’ve added some extra leaderto the ends of the films and have them stored in metal 16mm cans and then in a metal vault to better preserve them.I used to show them on an old Apollo 16mm projector I stillhave that works. These films were inherited by me when my folks passed on. I should probably leave them in my willto someone who would care for them.

“. . . than any other creature on earth”? Since they haven’t tested all the creatures on earth, that needs to be taken with the proviso “as far as we know.”
