TALKING MOVIES SCORE
SUCCESS IN NEW YORK CITY

An innovation in theatricals. the
Renfax Talking Motion Pictures.
scored both a popular and artistic
success at the Alhambra theatre for
twelve successive weeks when they
were presented for the first time.
These pictures mark an important
departure in theatricals as they are
the first to present vaudeville on the
screen and act, sing and talk delight
fully as we'll. Not only are the voices
made almost human thru a new kind
of singing machine known IS the
Renphone but they are exquisitely
blended with the action. The comedy
in the pictures, too, is uproariousl,
funny.
