A silent film was one produced before the advent of the synchronized sound track. Actors performed like mimes to convey their emotions and were assisted by flash cards which provided limited dialogue and other story information. Most silent films were accompanied by piano music played live in each theatre. This background music enhanced the telling of the story on the screen.
