On Broadway. amid the clatter
of the street cars and the banging
Of motorcar eXhausts. the machine
has been set up and hourly demon
strations are being made. The
tests are trying out the machine In
the noisest spot obtainable and
there one can see and hear men
and girls sing and dance or listen
to a. psuedo Abraham Lincoln
make his Gettysburg speech. The
words synchronize with the lips OF
the singer or speaker, the thing
required for real talking pictures.
The inventor, Harrison w.
Rogers. spent years perfecting the
machine, which he claims Is fool
proof and completely eliminates
the human equation from the pro.
duction OF vocal motion pictures.
All the operator has TO do is to
change records when they are
played out.
Under the old attempts by Edi-
son and others two operators were
required. One to start the record
behind the screen when a signal
was sent from the booth that the
picture was started, and the oper.
ator who ran the picture. The tim.
ing OF the record was always ahead
or behind the picture, which
made the entire performance ridi.
culous. because the singer miglI.
be bowling or sitting down while
the notes OF the song were still
ringing out over the heads OF the
audience.
Mr.. Rogers. who was active in
all the other attempts TO obtain
successful talking pictures, tabu.
lated their failures and the reasons
for them. He then went to work to
build a machine that would pre-
vent their occurrence. His ma
chine operates without supervision.
The apparatus consists q two
turntables mounted on a frame and
the tables. which carry the records,
are run by the same motor tha.
operates the motion picture ma.
chine.
The film controls the action Of
the sound records. As the picture
is run a slot in the film permits Il
metal pin to fly out from a roller
over which the film passes. This
pin closes an electric circuit which
starts the turntable carrying the
record. This device. automatic
and not depending on the will Of
the operator. brings the sound out
at the right moment and synchron.
ization Is thus obtained.
The sound is carried by wires to
amplifiers behind the screen, the
whole mechanism being in the
booth with the motion picture op.
orator. When one record is played
the machine automatically stsrts
the second record at the same rate
OF speed as the first. This keeps
up the continuity of the words or
sound. The first record is removed
and the third set upon the turn
table. That is the oily work neces
sary for the operator. The MA
chine automatically starts and
stops the record whenever the pic.
ture requires or does not require
sound.
A vocal motion picture has been
sthe dream of the inventor for years
and in the motion picture industry
more than $1,000, 900 has been
spent in trying to obtain real
talking picture. The possibilities
of such a device, If time proves its
success, are without end.
