Way back when, they had to use very long exposure times...so smiles were hard to hold! That's why so often it seems that people are scowling or look sad/stoic/forlorn in photos-- they had to hold their faces very still or the photos would come out blurry. We all know those cheek cramps from holding smiles too long!
I'm also trying to scan post some of my mom's photos from the 70's that I dug up today, hopefully I'll figure it out soon.
