NEW YORK, November 30.-Within
the space of a few months the silent
movie industry has almost disappeared
and it has become the "talkee" in
dustry. With one stroke the demand
for talking movies became so great
that producers have been forced to
abandon their producing schedules
The public is scrambling madly to see
sound" dialogue" or ''all talkee" pic
lures, and tleater owners pay prices
for new productions proportionate to
the number of feet of dialogue" which
a picture contains.
Warner Bros. Experiment.
About two years ago Warner Bros.
became Interested in the Western Elec-
trio laboratories experiments with talk
ing movies. They were sufficiently i'm
pressed to take out licenses to produce
talking pictures, named the new process
vitaphone, and began to turn out short
subjects" reels by opera singers and
comedy skits in dialogue. Although
their first attempts met with small sue
cess they devoted more and more of
their time to talking movies. John
BarrvmOre's name made a moderate
success of Don Juan s" but most pro-
auctions were unsuccessful. Warner
Bros. continued however, to tie great
sums of capital up in the new project
According to the story, the turning
point came when George Jessel, whom
Warner Bros. had signed to do the
Jazz Singer" in silent movies, wanted
what they considered too large a sum
to do it for the talking movies. Where
upon Al JOlson was engaged to do the
