Lol damn viral videos I don't feel like typing so yea my response on the dk site.
Hmm I have been wondering bout this just to lazy to click it haha.
So I am trying to find out if there are portable audio recorders dated back to 1928 it could be that Idk I am still trying to find one. Im also trying to look up other things that you would hold up to your ear from those years it has to be from 1928 or in the 20 years before that, anything older would have to be incredibly huge. Also it does look like she is holding something down.
Edit:
I found an evolution of recording/playback devices there are none that date that far back as shown on this site.

I can't explain this, crazy person, future person, edited person, man, woman, creature...maybe someone will come forward....Might be the 1900s hearing aids but why would they hold it up to their ear? Also like on that site what if our imagination got takin for a ride by this guy and we are all over thinking this....man to many questions.
