"Vintage film shows woman holding what?
Filmmaker says he's 'stumped' by image he calls 1928 cell phone

Shades of the flux capacitor.

Millions of people have watched a video by a Belfast filmmaker who thinks he has discovered a "time traveler" walking and talking on a cell phone in behind-the-scenes footage of the 1928 opening of a Charlie Chaplin film.

"I was kind of stumped by what I saw," George Clarke says in his YouTube video, "I kept winding it back … and I couldn't explain this. Nobody can give me an explanation as to what it is."

The video:

[Edit: difficult to make this pic out until after you've seen the video]

He said the film appears to show a "thin black device that is held to your ear." He said the knuckles are "bent in the flat shape of a phone.""

I love people who think that someone with the ability to travel through time would be stupid enough to use something that would obviously stand out in that time period.

Today’s bluetooth earpieces could be concealed under a hat or scarf and never seen!

That's the best explaination for what she/he is actually holding.
But who is she talking to? Perhaps herself?

A "recording" device? Perhaps nothing? Strange how she appears to be holding something up to her ear and appears to be talking as well.

She was calling the Enterprise for beam up.

That is not a “woman”. Man feet, man hands, a very angular and masculine face.

Agreed.
It is Commander James T. Kirk in drag saying, "Beam me up Scotty, there is no intelligent life on this planet."

Looks like a black scarf or handkerchief, maybe a cold compress or a cold beefsteak. Maybe her husband just boxed her on the ear or is escorting her to or from the dentist.
Sore ear, tooth or jaw is my guess.

Freeze the frame on a large monitor and you can clearly see that it is Helen Thomas.

If you really want to see a picture of the young Helen Thomas, you have to examine the pictographs on the Great Pyramid at Cheops - I believe that was one of her first paying gigs...

I think it's a woman trying to talk to her husband while cupping her ear, with the husband trying to ignore her.

The quality seems too good to me. Little to no artifacts.

It looks like Burgess Meredeth as the Penguin...talking on a mobile phone.

Are there no FReepers with this DVD set? That should be something that can be confirmed.

Well, someone else mentioned it was Helen Thomas.

That sounds like a pretty good explanation.

What she’s holding in her hand could well be a remote detonator she was smuggling for some of those early palestinian terrorists.

Proof, finally, that Thomas was and is a subversive, transsexual useful idiot.

If you read lips like I do, you’d realize she said, “Beam me up, Scotty”—just before she faded away.
