Not since the early inventors took the pictures off separate cards in e penny-in-the-slot machine and be- gan to flash them on a screen has there been a development which has 50 changed the entire aspect of the motion picture, and interest in sound pictures and how they are produced is increasing almost daily. Old stars are falling and new ones being made by the innovation. Many a prominent acreen actor or actress of the days when the “si- lent drama" was really silent has been found to have & voice which does not register well for the “talkies,” while sound pictures al- most automatically rule .out the scores of foreign actors imported into this country within the past few years, Their broken English practically disqualifies. them, al though it is possible to use the clumsy subatitute of a “voice” —an unphotographed person who speaks 7:05—Dinner concert 17:50—Dance orchestra 8:30—Concert orchestra 9:30—Concert orchestra 10:30—Dance orchestra 11—Dance orchestra 190—WGY, Schemectady—380 3:16—Football game, Harvard vs. Army 7—Pennsylvanians 7:30—Musical program $—8ame as WEAF 11=—Dance program l Throagh the Static | For the first time in 13 years Army and Harvard will meet on the h 30pr O WGBE—B4D o |battioncid ‘and incidentally tho ze-|iie jjne® 88 the Sctor merely moves 6.:1 ;“Plr: &.]n_.nflv- " | suming of hostllities will be broad- Actors “Made” Overnight cast this afternoon from Cambfidge over stations WEAF and WTIC at 3:45.

The while technic of the profession is changing. All the major producing com- panies are hastening to climb aboard the sound band wagon, and, while there are many mistakes be- ing made in the new medium, def- inite progress is being made and the “talkies” are far beyond their original stage of “canned vaudeville acts.” Films with synchronized or- chestral accompaniements are now almost as numerous as those with- out, while the output of pictures with spoken sequences is growing and there have even been some pictures with speech throughout their entire length, Several Methods Used How are these sound pictures produced? There are several ways, each company having rights to a process which differs slightly from those of its rivals, But the two basic types of sound synchronization are illustrated by the two pioneers in this field, the Vitaphone and the Movietone. These differ in one fundamental respect. The Vitaphone, which will be installed at one theater here, has the sounds rccorded on a separate diac, like a phonograph record. With the Movietone, which two houses will install, the sounds are recorded on the regular motion picture fiim, alongside the strip of separate vigws or “frames.” The Vitaphone is possibly the more easy to understand, as - it s simply a camera and a phonograph working together. As the film pass- es thyough the camera in the studio, the sound is recorded on a large flat disc nearby, microphones placed near the characteys but out of the camerd's vision picking up the actors’ vords und other sounds and converting them into electrfcal im- pulses which actuate a needle that impresscs them into the revolving circle of soft wax. The two processes are coordinated and controlled to- gether, The showing of the pictures merely reverses the process, the ¢if- ferent impressions on the disc be- ing turped into Impulses which shoot out along wires from the pro- (GAS New Britain 'csrrled out behind the screen to a Jjection booth to behind the screen, where sound boxes and loud speaks ers make them into sounds sudible to the audience. Volume Controlled by Light In the Movietone the microphones are the same, but the current f{s carried to a glass tube in the rear of the camera and the impulses translated into different intensities by a light in this tube. These changgqs of light are recorded (pho- tographed) on & tiny strip at one side of -the moving film, which is developed and printed in the ordi- nary way. The finished prints thus have a line 'of marks somewhat re- sembling Morse code beside the pic- tures, These marks, in the project- ing machine, pass between a light and a photo-electric cell. This cell is sensitive to light, transmittng an electric current when a Ight shines upon it and being electrically dead when in the dark, while the amount of current varies ‘with the intensity of the light. The cell receiving the chahges in light.intensty as the marks on the film interrupt the rays from the light, changes them into electrical impulses which are equipped medical school in Eyrope, thanks to the generosity of the Rockefeller foundatien. The new building, which covers two acres, will be tinished by the end of the year. The accommoda tion is so comprehensive that the|and = go marching to Jfi-, sound box and loud speaker as in the other type. GREAT PARADES 4.
