The process, the result of cexeral of experimenting in the General years Eli- gineering laboratory of the company, means but slight change in standard motion picture projectors, since it involves only the addition of a attachment and a loud speaker suitable for auditorium use. Both the picture and the sound are recorded on the same film. One of the demonstrations has been with music to accompany feature films, the music being by a full con- cert orchestra. Development of this Sleigh Bells." This occupied one season. Returning to school with three other stage acquaintances, he The Newsboys Quartet," organized and every night at six they sang in the various hotel lobbies and became quite well known. At this period Rod had a falsetto voice and was a big hit because he could yodel with considerable success. Then the I a Rocquea traveled to Omaha, where Rod sound-reproduci- ng To the casual observer the talking film does not differ from the usual motion picture positive. It is of standard width, but along the left margin there is a strip a small fraction of an inch wide on which is a series of horizontal light and dark bands and lines, of varying widths and intensities. It is this series of bands and lines which produces the sound. The film is passed through the reproducer at constant speed, and, as these light ami daik kinds pass rapidly before a tiny slit in an optical system, the amount of light is varied. The amount of light is received by a photoelectric cell the electric eye which is extremely sensitive to any change in the amount of light striking it. The more light received, the more current it will permit U Pss through its circuit. This current is amplified and changed from electrical to audible energy by an amplifier and speaker. Fields of Application At this early date it is not possible to define the fields in which this new type of talking motion pictures will le of use. One of the first, however, will be in supplying a full orchestral accompaniment for pictures.

Since the picture and sound records are printed side by side on the film, it necessarily follows that the two must lie properly timed or synchronized at all times it is not possible for the picture to break and the sound to continue, or for the sound to stop and the picture hoot DEfcVBR. 0UI0E to continue. There are three principal elements in the apparatus, including a standard IN 25 TEARS Sf HELEN BOLTON TUESDAY : WEDNESDAY Songs of France PRICES: $2.75, $2.20, $1.65, $1.10, 75c, including tax.
