DR.. Lee DeF'orest, inventor Of
the audion, which makes pos.
sible radio broadcasting and re.
ceiying. as well as talking motion
pictures. has achieved another
triumph--he has invented long
distance synchronizing device by
which two cameras. one photo
graphing sound and the other
action. may be operated simultane
ously the resultant product being
afterwards amalgamated.
The possibilities Of this latest
invention of DR.. DeForest arc
almost incomprehensible. As ali
illustration great naval battle
might be fought off the Pacific
Coast with news reel photog-
rapher on the spot. He would
communicate with DR.. DeForcst,
In New York, and announce the
fact. Then he would proceed
with photographing the action of
the battle. while in New York
the sounds of the cannonading
would be recorded, in perfect
experimentation with the photo
graphed action and the two

motion picture film.

Anyone who has seen Jane viii
testify that as a dancer she is in
an advanced class. She originated
her own style Of dancing, and at
tracted Broadway producers, while
she was playing in vaudeville.
She received offers to go into
Broadway shows.
What sort Of a part. will /
have?" she invariably asked.
Never mind the part" was the
usual reply. I'VE Just want you to
dance" But TO this sort of offer
Jane turned a deaf ear. She was
an actress first. She had played
important parts as child actress,
and her dancing unusual though it
was. only a by-product to Jane.
She told them that If she was of.
fered a good part she would throw
In her dancing for good measure.
Jane waited long time for her
opportunity. It came in Sweet
Lady, where she not only has a
splendid acting role, but songs and
dances.
