RADI0LA Dealers Voice Contest

Lack of voice material for talking pictures
has become a serious matter. Stars who
shone brilliantly in silent pictures, and were
caught up in the swirl of unforeseen events
that attended the arrival of talking pictures,
were found in scores Of instances to have
poor voices or voices that did not have the
roper timbre for satisfactory recording.
Many stars were able, through great ef-
ort and much coaching to remain on the
bedestals to which the silent screen had
elevated them, but many have failed, and in
most instances show little likelihood of coming
10 the front. So it was decided by Mr.. Laem-
ple with the aid of RCA Radiola, to go into
he highways and byways (where he believes
Qptold talent lurks) and bring new voices to
Universal City by way Of the RCA Voice Re-
cording Machine.
Everyone is entitled to go to the Rlalto
and have test made of his or her voice.
Go to any RCA Radiola dealer and ask for
free tickets for the voice test. There will be
no charge for them, and after Mr.. Laemmle
and his son have listened to them, they will
be returned to the one making the record, in
E1fe event that they have not been chosen for
aplace with Mr.. Laemmle in Universal City.

Jacob Cash, the suspended mar

and that was framed.
A summons In the suit was
served on the mayor as he stood

the city's greetings to the four
German aviators who flew across
the north Atlantic. He later termed
the method used in serving the
summons as "discourteous not only
to the mayor. but TO the whole city
OF New York"
