Silver Threads Among the Gold (1915 film)

Silver Threads Among the Gold is a 1915 American silent film starring countertenor Richard Jose. In the film, Jose performs the popular song Silver Threads Among the Gold. The six-reel film was produced by Pierce Kingsley and R. R. Roberts for the K & R film Company.[1]

The film was unusual for the time, as each exhibition hired a performer to sing live in the wings, in a reversal of lip-synch.[1]

This film was also the earliest known "talkie" film.
