I was just wondering the same thing actually! Would they have had sound or did they just flash an image at you and hope it sticks.

Kye,
Mowerfreak and all theatre lovers
'Talkies' came to Australia in 1927, but expensive changes meant a slow uptake.
The 1920s was still the era of the 'silents' - and silents needed live music!
These slides would have been augmented by the theatre musician - most probably a
theatre organ in the cities, and pianos in the towns.
Just imagine a large theatre organ rising from the floorboards as
these slides were projected, Amazing!
