When Edison returned to his labor

owcraft, his personal assistant, was
concerning the progress Of the talking
pictures. When told of the excellent

made during his illness, he was de-
lighted.
That's fine" he asid with a chuckle
Il wonder what some Of those people
who said / couldn't make pictures talk

At the time that the invention was
first perfected and demonstrated, Edl-
son was as tickled with it as a small
boy with a brand new baseball. A
casual visitor who did not know his
tremendous capacity for work would
never have dreamed that the man who
was laughing so heartily at the jokes
that we're being sprung by the charac
acters on the screen had expended tie
