| TALKING MOTION PIGTURES SHORTLY Demonstrations of “Photo- phone” Disclose Only Minor Problems Are Unsolved. February 3.—Talking motion pictures soon are to be an actuality on the silver screens of theaters. The General Electric Co., producers of the new ‘“photophone” are working on half a dozen contracts calling for immediate produgtion of the projection machines, and the only problem, as the producers view the new invention, is one of adaptation to a new and different method in creative art. Actors Must Be Careful. At a second demonstration of the pew pictures today it was explained that directors find some difficulty in excluding from the film extraneous nolses not meant to be in the talking pictures. Actors must be cautioned not to make unnecessary noise and | must be coached to speak their parts 8t the proper moment, as they would do were they on the stage of the epoken drama. In the experimental pictures the problem of the actor was largely in the background. One of the demon strations showed the use of incidental muslic in connection with a “feature” plcture, the strains of a 100-piece or- chestra flooding every corner of the exhibition room. The low frequency tones, hitherto found difficult to re- produce, were easlly ldentified. The music was exactly timed with the action of the film. Dramas to Be Produced. The pictures on which the company s working are not in dramatic form, due to the studio probiem and the human element. The releases there- fore will reproduce only bands and mddresses with the rounds incldent thereto. As the technique is later de- veloped, production will turn to dramas. The new device is a combination of ‘jthe usual motion picture projector and the allophotophone, an invention of Dr. C. A. Hoxie of the General Elec- tric Co.'s research staff.
