Produced in conjunction with Light's Golden Jubilee, a campaign celebrating the 50th anniversary of Thomas Edison' invention of the commercially available electric light bulb, which ended with an event held in Dearborn, Michigan on October 21, 1929.
In the evening, after a banquet in Thomas Edisons honor, Edison, Henry Ford, and Herbert Hoover went to Edisons reconstructed Menlo Park Laboratory, New Jersey, laboratory in Greenfield Village. Here they met with Edisons former assistant, Francis Jehl, for a reenactment of Edisons creation of the first successful incandescent light bulb fifty years before. Modern subtitles have been added to compensate for the primitive late 1920s sound recording of the event.
