Here is a 1925 edition of the Kinograms silent newsreel, featuring Jack Dempsey, a balloon race, women dancing in chilly breezes, a juggler, and opium being seized and burned in Shanghai, China.
Kinograms, distributed by Educational Pictures, was a silent newsreel that pretty much lasted through the 1920s but was doomed by the advent of sound. An attempted comback in the early 1930s as a sound-on-disk newsreel was an abysmal failure.
