Breese and Sound Films.

This was the first talking picture
made as a real production, to be shown
in theaters. Other experimental discs
had been recorded for exhibitors before
this, Julius Caesar" was one, but 1t
was not released to theaters.
February, 1918, also marked the adj
vent Of Edmund Breese into silent pic
lures. He went to Hollywood to play
the lead in THE Master Mind" for
Cecil De Mile, who had organized pro-
ducing company, operating in a barn
at Vine and Sunset. This was their
second picture, THE Squaw Man" hav-

role originally played by Charlotte
Granville.
The current production, like the
many which are to follow, was con-
eeived, constructed and directed by our
famous Clifford Brooke, than whom
There never has been, is not now, nor

EXPLAINS Unit Theory.

"FvERY scene OF motion picture
must be interesting Of itself. Each
moment must be entertaining. When
there is q flowing whole achieved OF
moving parts, each with its particular
bit of color, action, drama or romance,
then the screen director has fulfilled
the obligation Of his craft, providing
that he has told O story that an audi
ence will enjoy or be moved by"
Thus does Ruben Mamoulian explain
his so-called unit theory" Of motion
picture making, much-discussed tech
nioue that has been observable IN his
work for the stage as well as his work
for the screen.
Mamoulian, noted in New York as
director for the Theater Guild and
maker Of some Of the Guilds most sue
cessful plays, Is directing Gary Cooper
and sylvia Sidney in City Streets" at
the Paramount studios In Hollywood.
1t Is Mamoulian's second picture for
the company.

IN February, 1918, the first stage play
L was made into q talking picture, and
Edmund Breese played the lead In
THE Master Mind"
But it is "a years since the FIRST
sound films were made. for the Camera
phone Co. was producing pictures
with sound long before Thomas Edison
began producing talking pictures, such
as the Breese film.
Edison's original idea when he show
ed a moving picture through a little
peep-hole, was to combine sound and
motion, but before he began serious
work, several other companies expert
mented with q degree Of success as
producers Of sound pictures.
Edmund Breese was starring on the
Broadway stage in THE Master Mind, >
when Edison engaged him for the lead
in a seven minute picture. 1t was re-
corded on a disc, and made under Q
huge horn which gathered the sound
as q nicrophone does today.
