HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. 81.
A survey Of the players under
contract to 10 major Hollywood
producers reveals that the motion
picture people are not quite hold
ing their own against the Broad
way invasion.
These 10 companies have 141
contract players who have been
drafted into the talkies from the
stage, against 135 who are iden-
titled with pictures alone.
The main strongholds of the
film players are Metro Goldwyn.
Mayer, where the proportion is
2 to l, and R-K-O, where it is
4 to /.
At Fox, the stage people pre-
dominate by nearly 3 to /. Both
Warner Brothers and Pathe have
twice as many stage recruits as
film people. ......
Figures for the 10 companies
are as follows: Warmers, 20
stage, 10 screen; R-K-O, 6 stage,
"a screen; First National, 6 stage,
5 screen; Fox so stage, 18 screen;
Paramount, Is stage, 80 screen;
United Artists, 4 stage, S screen;
Samuel Goldwyn, stage 2 screen;

PARTICULAR
By sIGMUND ROMBERG
Famous Composer Of Musical Comedy
and 0perattas

Famous Composer Of Musical Comedy
and Operattas
There exists a common delu-
sion that the microphone pos
sesses the faculty Of changing
the character of a singers voice,
Through misunderstood publicity
about the wonders performed by
the mixer" people have come to
believe that the croaking Of a
bathroom tenor can be trans
formed into the brilliant tones
Of a Caruso.
I feel urged to contradict this
widespread, erroneous impression.
just the opposite is true-a voice
must have better qualities for the
microphone than for personal
transmission.
In the first place, there is lack
ing on the screen the intimate
personal contact with the singer
which helps us forget the little
shortcomings Of his voice. A trem
olo, for instance, in an
emotional movement on the stage,
may touch an audience, whereas
q tremolo transmitted by the i'm.
personal microphone beats a tat
too on our eardrums.
We know that no mechanical
recording apparatus can give US
such true tone as a perfect
musical instrument. The normal
human voice contains a mixture
of tones and noises. In listening
to singer in person, we do not
consciously hear most of the in
terfering SoundS-unleSS they are
especially pronounced. A sing
ing voice is the better the more
Of one basic tone it contains and
the less of accompanying sounds
The microphone, registering
only physical facts, gives us an
accurate account of the accom-
panying noises just as well as OF
the basic tones.
Therefore, a voice must be
more perfected for the micro
phone than for the stage.
Besides the quality of the voice
the musical instinct of a singer
must be especially good, for the
microphone-with cruel veracity
records the slightest devia zion
from pitch.
The real character Of a voice
cannot be changed by the micro
phone. What can be changed is
its volume. This we can regulate
as we need it. A fine voice which
is too small for the concert hall
or stage, can be increased in
volume by the recording device
to fill a large auditorium, or vice
versa.
A still greater advantage OF
this new medium of song pre-.
Sentation is the possibility Of cut.
ting and editing the continuity OF
a song. A singer who becomes
tired or pndispoSed one day
can finish his song later when
in better voice. In this way, only
the best efforts of the singer
finally reach his audience,
