Voice Insurance.

pLANS are under way at the Fox
studios In Beverly Hills, Calf, to
insure voices of actors for the period
of a production, it has become known
when leading insurance companies were
asked to submit rates on such policies.
Officials point out the great monetary
risk now undertaken in making feature
sound productions.
IF any important players voice goes
bad in the midst of big production, +"
said one official, ut means an unusually
heavy expense to the production through
keeping large casts and technical staffs
idle. You cannot double a voice once
recorded in a picture, although it might
be possible to double the actor who is
forced to drop out. Fox Movietone has
been perfected to such a high point
now that each voice has its own definite
individuality, and finding two voices
that register exactly alike is like look
ing for two needles in two hay stacks "
The possibility of an actors suffering
voice collapse" during production
was brought to the attention of Fox
producers when Sylvia Sidney, who
plays a featured part in Thru Diff
ferent Eyes" temporarily lost her
powers of speech after a piercing
scream which the action of the Aim
required her to deliver. The scream
cost her her voice for few days.

two in the economies of show business.
Young actors will learn from these that
by keeping their hands on the spade
and their hearts in the sky, they can re-

Mr.. Cantor says, may be reaped by

There is another sermon in Mr.. Can

the way of royalties and percentages.
To theatergoers who writhe under the

figures are recommended for meditation.
It Is their habit to complain against the

high prices for entertainment. The
managers are denounced as greedy ex-
