TALKIES LIBRARY OF NOISES CAREFULLY INDEXED BEDLAM ™ MISS JONES, PLEATE HAND ME THAT “MIDNIGHT MEOW, OVER THERE, "READY FOR WOR (& 77 A< Q.7; IR, ®) Thousands of sounds recorded at their sources have been put in| a “noisy library” for use whenever HOLLYWOOD.—Once an actor noise” could feel insulted, but that time is gone forever. In the early audible films studios spent effort and imagination to ob- tain istic imitations of com- monplace sounds Then someone concluded that the real thing would be better than auy | imitation, and started on a noise- hunt that has resulted in a “record library,” of thousands of different sounds, each available on short no- tice. The man with the idea was Bar- nard Brown. He also contrived the first artificial sound effect. About a year and a half ago Brown began building his collection of sounds. He and his staff took micro- phones to railroad stations, beside babbling brooks, to barnwards, to roofs high above the city. Now these stored sound effects save endless time and money ir picture-making. Formerly a scen might have to be re-taken several times because the clicking of a door-latch would not record prop- erly. Now Brown's men, with doz- ens of latch-clickings in stock, “dupe in” the proper sound. The search for new sounds, Brown has fourd, is as fascinating as the newspaper’s search for news, and very similar. The department’s watchword, like the journalist’s, is “What've you heard today?” COLES AND GUESTS RETURN FROM TRIP After an eight-day cruise that took the party entirely around Ad- miralty Island, Auditor Cash Cole and guests aboard the cruiser Ja: returned to town Monday morning. > Y AT ARE THE WILD WAVES SAYING % a talkie needs one.
