other screen epics of that period.

DAYS

The scientist IS generally looked
mon al man isolated In his
life. The glamour of romance
the whip of imagination, are not
associated with his mental make

leads him to seek the unknown,
and imagination which enables
him to secure results that ara
amazing. Probably the greatest
thrill that comes to the true
scientist il the result Of unex-
uected Developments which proc
vOkes research along unfamiliar
paths.
Al case in point il speech and
music combined with moving pic
lures. For many years attempfs
were made to accomplish t,1ts on
4 practical scale, but without sue
cess. The invention was perfected
by scientists who had no particu-
lar interest in the subject at thai
time. These men were con-
nected with the Western Electric
Company and the Bell Telephone
Laboratories. Working on sound
transference and electrical record.
fng. they stumbled upon = way
to unite speech, music md pic
lures. This discovery stirred their
ifnaginatIons.
The scientists soon had some
thing to show for their work.
But they needed the advice %

ducers. Warner Bros. attended
q demonstration. It came ut =
time when this firm Was seeking
d way to enhance the value Of
its productions and they saw in
the device something that might
accomplish that end.
Avery crude picture of a man
playing violin was shown That
historic day in the laboratory.
The men watched intently a. the.
man raised his fnstrument-and
the tones OF the violin came. APP

Warner Brothers felt they had
found 4 new media. Their inn
aginations carried them to the
