J. P. McCarty — Real Tales About Reel Folk (1914) 🇺🇸

J. P. McCarty, the electrical inventor, has become a movie star. He appears in the Reliance two-reeler, “The Wireless Voice,” one of the most remarkable plays which the Los Angeles studios have ever put out. The drama has a thrilling plot, with a love story interwoven, and is also a first class educational subject. It initiates the spectator into the wonders of electrical invention through showing minutely the interior of a test station and the mechanism of the wireless telephone recently perfected by Mr. McCarty.

The illustration at the bottom of this page shows the inventor instructing Director Fred A. Kelsey [Fred Kelsey] of the Reliance in the use of this wonderful device. That it is a success is evident from the delighted expression on Kelsey’s face.
