Description:

In this interview two stage-hands, "Jimmie" and "Frenchie" (possibly Jimmy Silcock and Percy Giroux) describe working back-of-the-screen making sound effects during the days of the silent movie. They talk about the theatres they worked in during the early part of the century (the Toronto Lyric Theatre, for example), the type of acts they saw and the demands placed on stage-hands to provide effects, props and scenery. Finally, mention is made of an early stage-hands' union, the Theatrical Mechanical Association (TMA).
