radio broadcastsng, an advantage which
would seem to presage the necessity of
hroadcasting from films or discs when
television is realized. 1t Is tflism in
radio that mistakes before the micro
phone cannot be erased. In the movies.
says Mr.. Grossman, the director still
has the advantage of trial and error.
Light Beats Sound.
THUS, just as a photograph record
played over the air Is usually a flaw
less reproduction, SO the talkies are not
likely to go wrong after competent test
and observation in reproduction. When
televiSion comes the problem will be to
produce pictures fast enough for broad
casting purposes.
Mr.. GrosSman brought out an inter-
eSting point that explains why talking
movies are usually heard with difficulty
in the rear part of the average theater
Light travels at rate of 10000 miles
per second. The speed Of sound is only
about LOO feet per second. This vari-
ance Is enough to account for the ap-
parent lack of synchronization that al
most any person observes when seeing a
movie from distant point in the house
The design of theaters may have to
be changed or sound reproducerS placed
better to overcome this defect.
1t is interesting to note that survey
OF the technical problems of motion
picture sound is being undertaken In
the larger Hollywood studios by the
Academy OF Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences, cooperating with large uits
of the radio. electrical and movie In
dustries. This Is expected to lead To
research and test to determine common
standards of practice.

The hour OF am. was selected as

The Signal Corps expects to eliminate
much of the fading in long distance

RADIO PAVED WAY
! FOR TALKING FILMS
Public Acceptance of Sound
Movies Is Attributed to
Loud Speaker.
BY MARTIN coDEL.

HOLLYWOOD Calf, June 25.-Ex-
cept for the fact that radio had made
the American public loud speaker
minded" the talking motion pictures,
with all their initial imperfections,
would not have been accepted so readily.
That is the theory of Eugene Gross
man, one of the broadcasting engineers
lured to Hollywood with the advent of
the talkieS. Mr.. Grossman formerly
was operations chief at New York for
the National Broadcasting Co. Now he
is the chief sound technician Of the
Fox Film Productions,
1.-The familiarity of the public with
artificial reproduction of voice and
music through the loud speaker IS
doubtless responsible for the inStanta-
neously favorable reaction to the talk
ing moving pictures" said Mr.. Gross
man, interviewed at the Fox studios.
Static and fading were well known
10 the radio audience. and so movie
goers were quite patient with the first
sound efforts in film production. which
sometimes amounted To q bit of illus
trated static.
Sound Films Here to Stay.
Sound movies have come to stay. OF
their popular acceptance there can be
no doubt. Our aim now is to approach
perfection, making them as natural as
can be- Nearly every production sees
some improvement, thaAks to the COM
bined efforts of the laboratories of the
great electrical radio and photograph
industries collaborating with the mo-
ton picture industry"
The Fox company has 10 men work
ing on research, Its laboratory being
headed by James Balsey. formerly Of
Westinghouse. Radio adaptation plays
an important part In this work, for the
background of most of its men is radio
engineering. The Fox company not
long ago obtained q short wave from
the Federal Radio Commission, over
which to transmit tests OF sound pic
lures being produced by company OF
players on location IN the South Sea
Islands.
According to Mr. Grossman, the pro-
duction of talking pictures has a singu-
larly important advantage over ordinary

COURTHOUSE SITE
BIDS PREPARED
County Committee to Make
Counter Offers to Rockville
Land Owners.
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY,
star Correspondent Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 31.-Another
effort to purchase at private sale the
parcels of land in square west of the
courthouse as an additional site for the
new county building will be made here
tomorrow, when each Of the owners will
be requested to come to the county
commissioners Office. At that time the
property holders will be rendered
price which was fixed by special COM
mittee of appraisers of the building
committee at a meeting held here late
yesterday afternoon.
This will be final effort to acquire
the land without resorting to condem-
nation proceedings, and the step was
recommended by the counsel, Cissel &
Woodward, of this town. Although the
owners of property, at the request OF
the county commissioners, had rendered
a price which they would accept for
their holdings, the commissioners never
made counter offer.
Papers Are Completed.
The meeting of the building commit
tee was suddenly called for yesterday
and was held behind closed doors. The
papers and data necessary for the filing
of the condemnation suits have been
completed by Charles w. woodward.
who made the search of the titles
necessary in the preparation OF the
suits.
The committee which fixed the prices
to be offered was composed of Preston
B. Ray clerk of the Circuit Court:
Berry M. Clark, clerk to the Board of
County Commissioners; George M.
Hunter, president of the Montgomery
County National Bank of Rockville;
Robert G. Hilton, president of the
Farmers Banking g. Trust Co. of Rock
vile; j. Roger SpateS, mayor OF Rock
Vile, attorney and specialist in land
titles: Lacy Shaw, vice president Of the
Board of County Commissioners and
supervisor of the northern metropoli-
tan district, and DR.. Benjamin G.
Perry, president of the Board of County
Commissioners, chairman of the build
ing committee and supervisor of the
western metropolitan district.
Prices Triple Assessments.
While the prices were not disclosed,
It was said by some members of the
committee that three times the assessed
value of each parcel was considered by
them to be a fair value for the land
included in the square. While the
assessments are supposed to be a full
valuation, it was pointed out that, like
all such assessments. they are nowhere
near the sale value of the properties.
There is strong belief among some
residents of the town who are in close
touch with the public affairs that many
of the land owners will avoid the con-
demnation proceedings, and that even
If the cases are filed they will be settled
before the proceedings run their full
course.
