Russell 2958-2959 RADIO PAVED WAY FOR TALKING FILMS Public Acceptance of Sound Movies Is Attributed to Loud Speaker. BY MARTIN CODEL. HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,, June 25—Ex- cept for the fact that radio had made the: American public “loud speaker minded.” the talking motion pictures, with all their' initial® imperfections, would not have been accepted so readily. That is the theory of Eugene Gross- man, one of the broadcasting engineers lured to Hollywood with the advent of the talkies. Mr. Grossman formerly was _operations chief at New York for the National Broadcasting Co. Now he is the chief sound techniclan of the Fox Film Productions, “The familiarity of the public with artificial reproduction of volce and music through the loud speaker is doubtless responsible for the instanta- neously favorable reaction to the talk- ing moving - pictures,” sajd Mr. Gross- man, interviewed at the Fox studios. “Static and- fading were well known to the radio audience, and so movie- goers were quite patient with the first sound efforts in film production, which sometimes amounted Lo a bit of illus- trated static. Sound Films Here to Stay. “Sound movies have come to stay. Of their popular acceptance there can be no doubt. Our aim now is.to approach perfection, making them as natural as can be. Nearly every production sees some improvement, thaks to the com- bined efforts of the laboratories of the great electrical, radio and phonograph industries collaborating with the mo- tion picture industry.” The Fox company has 10 men work- ing on research, its laboratory being headed by James Balsey, formerly of Westinghouse. Radio adaptation plays an important part in this work, for the background of most of ils men s radio #ngineering. ‘The Fox company not Jong ago obtained & short wave from the Federal Radio Commission, over which to transmit tests of sound plec- tures being produced by a company of players on location in the South Sea Islands. According to Mr. Grossman, the pro- duction of talking pictures has a singu- larly important advantage over ordinary 365.6—WHAS Louisville—820. 6:30—WJZ and WEAF (1 hour). 7:30—Organ recital; scores. 8:00—WEAF programs (1'; hours). 9:30—The Homing program. 10:00—Hour from WEAF. 11:00—Amos-Andy; dance musie. 461.3—WSM Nashville—650. 7:00—~WJZ (30 minutes); orchestra. 8:00—WEAF program (1'% hours). 9:30—Movie news presentation. 10:00—Hour from WEAP. 11:00—Tenor and Salon Orchestra, 11:30—Orphan’s Home Band. 270.1—WRVA Richmond—1,110, 6:00—Orchestra; Amos and Andy. 7:00—WJZ (30 min.); book review. 8:00—Tire hour. rogram. 0—Community_theater play. 10:00—Hour from WEAF. 11:00—Dance music. hour. STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, broadcasting from television is realized. It is a tfuism in radio that mistakes before the micro- phone cannot be erased. In the movies, says Mr. Grossman, the director still has the advantage of trial and error. Light Beats Sound. Tiwus, just as a phonograph record played over the air is usually & flaw- Jess reproduction, so the talkies are not likely to go wrong ‘after competent test and observation in reproduction. When television comes the problem will be to produce plctures fast enough for broad- casting_purposes. Mr. Grossman brought out an inter- esting point that explains why talking movies are usually heard with difficulty in the rear part of the average theater. Light travels at a rate of 186,000 miles per second. The speed of sound is only about 1,100 feet per second. This vari- ance is enough to account for the ap- parent lack of synchronization that al- most any person observes when seeing a | movie from a distant point in the house. | The design of theaters may have to be changed or sound reproducers placed better to overcome this defect. It is interesting to note that a survey of the technical problems of motion{ picture sound is being undertaken in the larger Hollywood studios by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, co-operating with large uits of the radio, electrical and movie in- dustries. This 15 expected to lead to research and test to determine common standards of practice. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- vaper Alliance.) COUNTESS GETS DIVORCE.
