What Hernwhich specifically di to kill the silent film industry and make sure that silent film actors couldn't work in talkies was enact policies that didn't allow people from working in two industries. This was meant to protect workers from being over-worked by their corporate masters. However, the silent and talkie movie industries were classified separately and thus a number of stars were forced to decide between the dying silent industry and the talkie industry that they couldn't compete in. As well, Charlie Chaplin's famed visit to Nazi Germany--where he gave Hitler some hand facial hair grooming tips--helped to soil the industry.
The Anarcho-Christian movement came from a number of Irish and Italian immigrants who called for the overthrowing of the government. Their silent film "The Way" which layed out their messed up philosophy. This, along with Chaplin's nazi sympathies, made the industry look bad.
Wowl.............speechless.
You'd better hope that teacher has little knowledge of Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin actually played up that similarity of mustaches in his 1940 satire of the Nazis: The Great Dictator.
He can always explain that Chaplin and Hitler broke up before 1940 and
The Great Dictator was a direct result of this.
