During the teens and twenties of the last century, hoaxsters made the rounds claiming to have invented "Death Rays" (you couldn't make this stuff up!).
Among them were Giulio Ulivi and Harry Grindell Matthews.
Here's a compilation of rare cinematic scenes arguably spawned from the hoopla of the day:

YouTube just shows a message that says This video is private.
I want to see what Steve was talking about! Can anybody find a similar video? I tried . . . _________________ ____________

Ya know... I dunno what the matter is with that Steve guy.
Let's try this:

P.S. I have one other clip to add but it's super duper secret.
Send me an P.M. if interested and promise you won't copy it, share it, post it back on the internet or otherwise get me into trouble, and I'll hook you up. _________________ "There is a planet in the Solar System where the people are so stupid they didn't catch on for a million years that there was another half to their planet." - Kilgore Trout. |

I'd love to see the Top Secret clip you mentioned, and I'll sign the standard Nondisclosure Agreement, punishable by Death Ray execution! _________________ ____________
