1920s Film Still featuring Syco-Graf
Some film stills from a 1920s-era movie show the Syco-Graf in action, with a wild-haired professor-type character courting two fabulous showgirls with the device, and the device seems to have tipped quite a bit to function properly. This version is absent the wooden disc planchette, and instead has a more traditional clock hand in its place, undoubtedly a later refinement of the device. And their discovery in film still is intriguing, as there seems to have been a local Hollywood push to promote the boards, fitting given the location of its origins.
Wanda Tipping Table
“Wanda Talking Table, 1928
A 1928 edition of Photoplay Magazine, along with a behind-the-scenes promotional still for Tod Browning’s lost film London After Midnight that shows the director and Lon Chaney playing with one of the devices, finally exposed many of the lost secrets of the Syco-Graf, though this time clearly re-stamped as the Wanda Tipping Table. This led us to Harry Lang’s article, Exposing the Occult of Hocus-Pocus in Hollywood, which features not only a picture of a perfectly intact specimen, but informed us that Haffner’s company was known as the Wanda Tipping Table Company of Hollywood. According to the article, the items sold quite briskly, and were popular in the Hollywood occult scene of the era. !
