The commentary did not state that the film in the Kinetoscope was an endless loop.

We watched a "history detective" show where a man has a strip of 35mm film with an actual optical track on it, from around about 1915 or, one of those unsung heros of early sound tech.Comment

The programme you saw featured a piece of film from about 1910 to 1912 which showed an optical sound track made by Eugene Lauste. Obviously the motion picture business of the day showed no interest with the invention.

There is also a good piece on Eugene Lauste and his work in the book "The History of Motion Picture Photography" by Brian Coe. It seems his first attempt at sound recording on film (without pictures) was in 1904. It states that he moved to England but not (as in the article you linked to) that his laboratory was only a mile or two from where I live.Comment
