HER OWN VOICE

at Is one Of the most amazing

"Mr. Mccormick. Mr.. Setter. my
director, and Lucille, my hair
dresser, went into the projection
room with me. The lights went
down and my picture appeared on
the screen exactly as 1t had hun.
dreds of times before. And then
the Colleen Moore on the screen
began to talk, and gasped in
amaZement. The voice was that

mechanism couldn't be working
correctly, and was surprised that
no one mentioned 1t,

1T is not that ones recorded
voice Is either better or worse
than the real voice, but that the
qualities of tone are so entirely
different from the sound of the
voice when one hears ones self
speak. Physicists explain this by
the fact that the head acts as a
sort of sounding hoard to throw
the tone of the voice. and that it
is impossible to project the voice

most stunned into silence by
astonishment.
More and more it impresses
me that the day is fast ap-

a film star. There will be plenty
to second the motion.
The film authors, or whoever
chooses the screen tales in which
the blonde Dolores traipses, are
not doing right by the pretty
wife # Jack Barrymore. '"The
Redeeming Sin," "Glad Rag
Doll" and now Madonna Of
Avenue A" present three good
reasons why her film popularity
will become static and grad
ually diminish unless it is soon
stimulated by a good screen tale.
When a dramatic editor buys

1t has always seemed to me
that something is the matter
with our civic system when
martyrs to the cause of COM
munity peace and happiness die,
and the unfortunate. dependents
receive only slim and inadequate
relief from the public treasury.
The heroes of peace make the
supreme sacrifice as the heroes
of the battlefield. Their loved
ones should have a right to ex-

tion and relief until they are
self-supporting. Seldom is it
done.

of Manager Jimmy Lake that
the audience will see the great

provide. Every act and every
employe contributes services.
The theater is donated, and
every penny Of receipts will go

traction evidently inaugurating
the beginning of the legitimate
theatrical season in this city for
1929-1930. Mr.. Mitchell will be
surrounded by competent cast
and will visit this city following
an engagement in Philadelphia.
The company organized for
the presentation of MitchelPs
popular success has been re-
hearsed in three of his other
comedies, namely, "It Pays to
Advertise" "The Whole Towns

one week, only the single bill,
"A Tailor-Made Man." will be
given.
Although almost every film
feature which is booked at the
Earle Theater nowadays has its
own cans of music, Daniel Bree-
skin, leader of the orchestra,
manages to find ways to keep
his musicians from being just a
filler-in on the entertainment
program. He deviSes novelties
and melodious moments to keep
his artists in the spotlight, and
not infrequently, as this week,
wins more applause for his over
