How They Do It.

THE lyric writer walks for miles along
Holl- Gods streets and the COM
poser sits in a cell-like room, but to-
gether they turn out their popular
songs.
During the course of the four or five
mile walks that he takes each day
George Marion, jr., thinks out song
verses and witty dialogue for his NOV
ing picture stories. The sidewalks are
his workshop, he says, declaring that
physical action is particularly helpful
in evolving the rhythm of lyrics. When
he gets home he writes down the lines.
Richard A. Whiting composes his
melodies in q room utterly devoid of
comfort. A piano and a piano bench
are the sole pie es of furniture. He
Goes not even allow himself chair In
his austere studio. Melody composing
demands intense concentration, he says,
comfortable surroundings.
The first songs they wrote as a team
were for Paramount's "SWeetie," star
ring Nancy Carroll. Since then they
have written songs for Safety In Num-
bers," starring Charles Buddy Rogers,
and for Lets Go Nat:ve?" the big
musical comedy, featuring Jack Oakie,
Jeanette Macdonald, James Hall and

"CONTRARY to widespread impress
~ sions outside of the motion pic
ture industry, it is easier to tllm and
record talking pictures outdoors than
indoors, even on especially constructed
'ssound proof" stages. That is the
statement of Maj. Nathan Ley1nson,
Vitaphone engineer at the First Ma
tional Studios, who also adds that the
quality of sound registered outdoors is
superior.
Mai. Levinson supervised the record
ing of 1.-THE Dawn Patrol, "Top Speed"
'The Bad Man" and other First Ma
6ional1pictures
'The reason the average person thinks
of sound recording as an indoor rather
than an outdoor affair is because we
first recorded all sound pictures in
DOORS" he says This was not because,
even in the early stages of Vitaphone
recording, indoor recording conditions
were better 1t was because our equip
ment was massive, Weighing many tons,
and therefore we had to conflne our
shooting to the studio.
Knowing that better sound recording
could be done out of doors on natural
locations, we naturally strove to invent
and make practical light, portable
sound-recording machinery. We have
1t perfected now. Wherever an automo-
bile or a wagon may go, sound record
ing is simple. Sound may be recorded,
in fact, on moving trains, airplanes in
the air and boats on the water; SUBJ
marines under the water could also re-
cord sound If need arose.
THE reason for the superiority of out
door sound filming is simple continues
Mai. Levinson "Outdoors sound abb
serbs so there Is no close-range re-
verberation or echo; indoors we have to
contend with the echo all the time. The
echo makes double sound, perhaps ever
so slight, but always there. This dou-
bic sound produces in varying degrees
what we call 'mushiness.' 1t makes
sound fuzzy like an out-of-focus
photograph
"Other causes are the softness of the
ground which is so broken in charac-
ter that it seldom gives perceptible re-
bound of echo, and the broken, distant
character Of surrounding objects. Echoes

coming from q distance do not produce
'mushy' recording.
Indoor echoes from nearby plane
surfaces such as tables rebound imme-
diately and in almost full volume. Walls
echo. Floors and ceilings echo. Some
times bowls and other props prove
magnifying sounding boards. Technical
men in every department have to be
more or less sound experts to prepare
What we call soft sets.
at sounds like exaggeration to say
that the paint department has to use
soft paint, but that Is the case. We
have developed paints that give any
necessary gloss Of surface without pro-
ducing reverberation."
There will be more far-distant Local
ton excursions than ever" thinks MAI.
Levinson, because talkie realism, color
realism and improved photography have
created a demand for an equal realism
In every department Of the business"
Notwithstanding it all, wise produce
ers are Tightening up their sound stu
dios and even constructing more of
them for indoor protection against
truant noises that mar outdoor pictures.

ent difficulties existing in Germany be-
tween the German and American cleo
trio companies manufacturing sound
recording and reproducing devices has
prevented the expectation of sound mo-
ton pictures to Germany. These pat
ent controversies were anicably settled
on July 6, 1890, which will permit In
the future importation of American
sound motion pictures into Germany.
The settling of patent disputes also will
add impetus to the wiring of a great
number of German theaters which
were reluctant to wire not only because
of the patent disputes, but also the lack
of assurance that good sound product
would be available,

IN the subject:
with the sound film having practi-
sally Supplanted the silent picture

motion pictures. During the first six
months of 1880, 63,87So47 feet Of Amer

value of $2,049,227 were exported to
this region, as against 40,423,94 feet,
with value of S1,327,413, during the
same period of 1929.
This increase of over 23,000,000 feet
