We have often read of Pumpkin

because the town was going to have
difficulties paying for the new pump,
and the woes Of many another small
American community have long been
the butt Of ridicule and sharp-pointe9
comedy emanating from the press an0
the stage in larger communities.
Recently the world learned that Chi
cago was having difficulty paying It's
bills and only the generosity Of heavy
loans from private sources, enabled the

Now we earn that Los Angeles
hasn't the means to send its fire chlef
either to the state convention Of fire
chiefs in San Francisco, or the inter
national convention to be held IN Win

Los Angeles, because it 50 happens that
Chief Scott is the president OF the III

But the "nost unkindest cut of all,
came when the wicked city of San

some way or other and the blg-hearted

fering donation Of $500 to assure

THE 'rALKTES

Although some motion pictures are
made elsewhere. the world recognizes
California as the center Of the motion
picture industry and FOR this reason
"Greater Talkie Season" which opens
tomorrow, is of peculiar significance to
Caltornians.
In three short years the talking pic
lures have forged to the front to take
first place among the forms of enter
tainment enjoyed by millions of people
each day.
Few Of US realize The gigantic job it
was to turn a whole industry upside
down almost over night, yet that is the
task that confronted the motion pic
ture lnagnates when the silent film
was declared by progress to be obso-
lete, Naturally many mistakes were
made in the transformation, but they
are more than offset by the improve
ments which are the result of constant
experimenting and research to bring
the talking picture as near. perfection
as human ingenuity can make them.
"Greater Talkie Season" is Of course
primarily advertising propaganda Tor
the motion pictures. Not even a mo-
ion picture magnate would deny that.
At the same time it is Of real interest
10 the public. The talkies nave come
into our daily lives and form a part Of
cur conversation as much as the stock
market, the present drought, baseball,
the tariff, endurance flying and a doz-
en- other subjects.
Naturally the motion picture indus.
Try hopes to induce many millions of
people to visit the theatres during
Greater Talkie Season" Being news
paper, we naturally believe in adver
tising. So does the picture industry.
Greater Tallie Season" is bit Of ad
vertiSing but it hardly seems neces-
sary. TIE fans couldn't be kept away
from the talkies under any circum-
stances.
