nouncement intimates that he hopes,
through the medium of color and sound
pictures, to reach audiences heretofore
impossible; also that NE has been Gin
tensely interested in talking pictures, !"
and that he has elected to defer per-
Sonal association with them until
their degree Of perfection satisfied him,
and also until q proper business affil-
iation presented itself. But nowhere is
1t clearly set forth that now, having
found such q business connection, and
admitting that 1t is possible for the
screen, through color and sound. to do
Justice to the beauty of music and
spectacle. 1t is his purpose henceforth,
exclusively, to cast his lot with pic
lures and to abandon the making of his
spectacles for the legitimate tneater, as
heretofore.
Mr.. Ziegfeld may be now merely
cleaning up on his past endeavors, and
may not intend to forsake the legiti-
mate stage. II, however, he has really
decided to do the latter, mingled with
the regret that Is certain to follow is
the hope that the stage, bereft of its
greatest spectacler, may now be able
to return to its legitimate business Of
creating and presenting real drama
where real drama properly belongs.
One thing appears to be certain, be-
sides the fact that Mr.. Ziegfeid is now
convinced that the screen can do full
Justice to music and spectacle. and
that Is that Mr.. 0oldNyn y convinced,

to do justice to the beauty of music
and spectacle that has typified his stage

in life has been directed to clarifying

by Henry King, director for Inspiration
Pictures, Inc, to write the complete
musical score for Kings latest produc-
ton, "She Goes to War;"
.Inasmuch as the action Of the film
falls In the time of the World War,
American soldiers songs have been In
corporated, and among them several
that have practically fallen into OBJ
livion. Considerable research has to be
done, One song, Don't Forget the Sal

"Dougfnut Girls" was especially sup
piled in two manuscript versions. by
American headquarters Of the Saliva

Much historic investigating was done
also by the music department. OF the

numerous famous, but nowadays less

New Note in Hollywood.

THE advent of the talking picture has
l. introduced O new note into the
studios of Hollywood-the seemingly
endless rehearsals required before the
making of each scene, involving not
only the perfection of the action re-
ouired. but the speech as well.
In the making of silent pictures q
certain amount of latitude existed In
lust what the players said during
scene or how they said 1t. Only when
a title was to be spoken In closeup
was 1t necessary for the artist 10 COM
nit q line to memory, inasmuch as his
lips could be read, but at other times
it was only necessary to carry on the
spirit of the scene, while expressing ONE
self In the manner that seemed easiest
and most natural
In the talking picture, however, every
word must be spoken as 1t Is written
in the script, and the speech OF one
character must be correctly timed with
relation to the other speeches that come
before and after it. And owing TO the
methods Of film production the entire
play cannot be rehearsed ct once, but
each scene must be handled separately.
When It Is realized that q motion pic
tiIre often consists of 800 scenes, the
difficulties Of sound-fllna production are
Immediately apparent.
One of the latest talking pictures 10
illustrate this comes from the studio
of Warner Bros. It is THE Glad Rag
Doll" which stars Dolores Costello.
