PRODUCERS SHY
ON 'ALL-TALKIE'
TO TEST WORTH
Part Sound Proves Most
Effective in Efforts
So Far.
BY LEON NJ. SILER
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Feeling
their way to more and better sound
with exhibitors literally crying for
sound films-most motion picture
producers have fought shy of "all
talkie" pictures so far.
Most of them still are restricting
sound to incidental noises or "ef-
fects"-the clatter of traffic, the
whir of airplane propellers, and
such-along with musical accom-
paninient.
Fox. however, produced Lights
of New York" with the Vitaphone
reproducing all dialog, and in THE
Terror" has gone step farther.
There was not a single printed
letter or word in THE Terror" as
1t opened in New York. Even the
name of the film and the names of
the cast are announced orally-with
a masked face appearing on the
screen and going through the mo-
tons Of speaking. The same is true
of all sub titles.
Others Favor Sparing Use
Other producers are holding back
from 100 per cent talkies" on the
theory that sound acconpaniment's
greatest effectiveness will be
achieved through somewhat sparing
use of it.
Wide difference If opinion still
exists among producers as to
whether the monograph record
synchronization method, as illus
trated by Vitaphone, or the sound
on-fllna process, as illustrated by
Movietone, ultimately best will
please the public.
Meanwhile most of the big COM
panies have taken out licenses for
both and are grabbing whatever
equipment is to be had-anything
to get going on sound picture pro-
duction. Cost is a matter Of no
concern-box office receipts from
sound pictures of any kind are TAX
ing care of all financial worries at
present.
Films Recalled
Important pictures made without
sound are being recalled and
photograph record sound syn
chronizations prepared as hastily
as possible. At Camden, N. j., the
Victor Photograph Company has
been inundated with recording jobs.
Dozens of spoken drama experts
have been pressed into movie serv-
ice to aid in working out sound
problems.
According to William DeN1ille,
who has just gone to Paramount
as a sound expert, fretting about
the voice qualities of recognized
Aim stars is entirely unnecessary.
"The main thing to be considered
Is enunciation," he said. Voice
volume can be increased mechanic
allyl Writers must supply actors
with the correct lines to speak
however Many titles seen on the
screen would fall fiat if spoken
First National executives also re-
port the finding that any voice
failing easily can be cured.
Sub Titles Won
First Nationals first sound effect
picture is Lilac Time" starring
Colleen Moore. An interesting ex-
perience was had in preparing this
film. Near the end, Colleen is
hunting her lost love, wartime
aviator. She finds him in hospital.
At first, dialog between the two
was included in the sound, at the
tensest moment. Tried out on an
experimental audience, the dialog
didn't get over. 1t was eliminated
in favor of sub titles and soft music.

JUST HOW TAX

Clears Annual Mystery of
Where 1t Goes to

Between taxpaying times, Indian
apoliS residents are inclined to go
into huddles with fellow taxpayers
to determine just why they should
pay so much in taxes each year.
Seldom do they arrive at any con-
clusion except the personal opinion
that rates and levies are exhorbitant
and something should be done about
them.
But few of these persons realize
what makes up the amount they pay
In two installments each year. Re-
monstrances have been filed against
the proposed tax rates in Marion
County on the 1928 levies payable in
1929. These will be heard by the
State tax board.
County Auditor Harry Dunn, how
ever, has compiled schedules to
show where each cent and tenth of
cent in the new rates will go.
