Moving Picture Album
BY ROBERT E. SHERWOOD.

Their principal argument SO far has
been to the effect that the talking
movie is insrtistic--that 1t removes that
personal contact between performer and
spectator so essential to true art
That Is precisely the argument that
was used against the movies themselves
when they first began to be popular.
1t had not the slightest effect then. and
Ii will have no more effect now.
The public doesn't know or care
whether the talkies are artistic or
otherwise. The public. being interested
solely in entertainment would rather
see and hear AL Jolson sing on the
Vitaphone than see and hear Bert
Cheever, the local trombonist, perform
in the flesh.
Perhaps the American Federation of
Musicians Is aiming its campaign at
the theater owners, who have, in the
past provided employment for its menu
bers. II so. the federation Is wasting
its time talking about art,
All that the average theater owner Is
concerned with is his profits. and those
haven't been any too healthy in recent
years. If the new sound devices can
rescue him from the red ink. then he
is perfectly content to let the musicians
Starve--aT1d when they cry to him for
bread he will instruct them to SO out
and cut themselves a piece OF cake.
The American Federation of Mu-
sicisns will certainly enlist the SYM
pathies OF the public No one reliShes
the thought that 100000 hard working
men and women are being driven out
Of work But that sympathy will be a
poor substitute for the salaries the mu-
sicians are now drawing: referring to

that worldly wealth amounts to moth

When the takes" were developed u
was surprising to find that on one OF

Of sound pictures as boom to the short

I'VE expect to use sound In some form
In every picture made for the new sea-

comedies sound effects and dialogue
will be used In parts of the picture
where most effective, and some will
carry sound all the way through, with
the addition of musical effects. Stories
and situations are Of primary impor-
lance, as we always maintained thew
were in building high caliber of short
comedies. 1t is likely that story situa-
tons will be even more important In
the new type of comedies, which are on
the way. so the scenario force is being
built up"
Christie Is enthusiastic concerning
the future of sound in short comedies

possibilities for novelties and effects
than for the average run Of feature pic

TvER since one theater in New
York was first devoted to talk
ing pictures. or pictures With
H. orchestral accompaniment rem
dered through the Vitaphone.
there have been no musicians employed
IN that theater, nor has there been
need for any.
During the recent run OF Lights of
New York" at another theater, the
regular orchestra was on hand to play
an overture: but after that all the
musicians, including the organist,
stepped out into the stage door alley for
several smokes, while the Vitaphone
carried on the rest of the musical pro-
gram all by itself.
The amusement might we'll have
dispensed with the overture altogether,
but the musicians we're on salary any
way and so the management figured
that they might as well do something.
What has happened at these two
theaters win happen in every large the
alter within the next few months, and
In all theaters, large and small. within
the next few years.
AS fast as the manufacturers can

1t is small wonder, then, that the
American Federation Of Musicians has
