"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."

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!
"Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3, 4 . . ."
She was calling the Enterprise for beam up.

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.
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 Joe only listens to the voices in his head.
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.

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.
