Anniversary of Sound Movies
Recalls Early Panic of Stars
Public, Press
Unenthused at
Talkie' Advent

Sound came to motion pictures
just 20 years, ago yet most of the
excitement over the invention that
today makes movies one of Amer
ica's chief industries didn't come
from the press or public, but from
stars who were panicked by the
realization that their voices might
not be pitched for recording.
Despite an unenthusiastic public,
and skeptical producers of the first
talkies, "The Jazz Singer" starring
May McAvoy and Al Jolson, was
released in 1927. From then on a
stars voice was recordable or he
was through.
John Barrymore and Conrad
Nagel made the transition from
silence to sound without a hitch.
Nagel, who was under contract to
MGM at the time and receiving
$4,000, was loaned to every other
company in Hollywood and in the
first two years of talkies, he made
81 films.

ing to beat him.
can see the President now as
he looked up with that pert, bird
like glance he has-just enough of
smile to make you try to listen
sympathetically - and say that if
Slaughter was right, he (the Presi-
dent) was wrong.
Think what Slaughter could have
said if he had been elected!
But he was defeated - and the
day after the primary, the real sig
nificance of the battle became
clear.
Never in American history has
any administration been up against
the situation which developed when
the Roosevelt honeymoon ended.
am not arguing how or why that
situation came about. But the fact
is we have had a situation where
party lines meant little, and the
age-old principle of majority rule,
the theory on which congress, as a
working body, is organized, has
been violated.
Outstanding example was the
rules committee. There were five
southerners - anti administration
Democrats-on that committee, and
with Slaughter's help, they could
tie up the vote and tie up any legis-
lation Truman asked for.
Now maybe the fact that the ad-
ministration couldn't get its legis-
lation before congress, or couldn't
get it passed when it did, was a
good thing. I am not discussing
that. merely say that what hap
pened is not good thing for the
two-party system. And as the stu
alton grew more acute, congress
wasn't a working body.
Let's take the testimony of a
thoroughly loyal Republican men,
Der of the committee and acting
minority leader, Representative
Kitchener of Michigan. If the DEM
ocrats retain control of the house,
Kitchener said, the absence of Rep
resentative Slaughter will permit
the rules committee to function the
way it was intended to function;
namely, the legislation of the
party in power will be sent to the
floor.
That didn't mean Michener want
ed the rival party's Legislation
passed. 1t simply meant he knew
that Slaughter, teaming up with
the anti-administration Democrats
and the Republicans, was able to
tie the vote and stymie action.
And that isn't two-party govern
ment.

Truman Purge Aimed at
Restoring Party Machinery

Ne,Us analyst and Commentator,

loading firearm, and the perfection
OF rifling - the making of spiralled
grooves inside the barrel which
gave the bullet or projectile a
twisting movement, and kept it
from tumbling ''head over heels"
This increased range and accu-
racy.
The emphasis was still on the
rifleman rather than the artillery,
and such statistics as we have
indicate that the infantry in the
Franco Prussian war Of 1870
wounded 10 times as many men as
the artillery did. Undoubtedly the
bayonet claimed many.
By 1914-15, however, artillery
produced one-haf the wounded,
showing the rapid advance which,
in part, made experts forget the
rocket again.
Artillery, according to the old def
milton, is "group-served, mounted
firearms of caliber greater than
that of small arms" This definition
could easily be made to include
wv 81 LID, oiiSuSS VI DOAllOS SdA-
ried by planes, or contained in the
war-head of rocket.
I mention the effectiveness of
artillery in the latter sense,
not to belittle the doughboy who
is really the "ultimo ratio" but be-
cause the projectile, either carried
in a plane or by propulsion in a
rocket, is what might be called the
definitive weapon.
The point is we did not develop
the rocket in the Civil war because
we felt we had something better
(breech-loading rifled artillery
and small arms). And again the
rocket was set aside by a decision
arrived at before we engaged
actively in World War II when our
experts, both in the army and out
of it, including the great indus
trialists who could gauge our pro-
duction capacity, felt the airplane
was a superior weapon.
We did not entirely neglect study
and experimentation on the rock
ct during the war, however, and
now we are probably farther ad-
vanced in this type of artillery"
than any other nation. We also
have learned to project our "artil-
lery' by means Of the "drone"
(pilotless airplane). On August 7,
the dones droned their way from
Honolulu to California. One Of them
dropped bomb. The rest landed
successfully. A plane with no pilot
can bomb a nation that far distant
without risking human life.

the late Charles A. Hoxie of Schen-

laboratories of General Electric,
carted his Kinemagraphone, as he
called it, back to the plant.
It wasn't until a year or so later
that the president of the company
took it with him to Europe to intro
duce an educational film. There it
was received with such enthusiasm
that company officials believed the
talking movie was perhaps best
suited to educational purposes. Be-
fore more educational movies had
been produced, however, the movie

The officer pointed to an old

Why, then, if the rocket princi-

Germans did, asked.
The reason the rocket was
neglected in the Civil war period,
I was told, was because ordnance

Is This the
| Army, Mr.. Jones?

In World War I when YMCA
and Red Cross canteens were
established right up into the zone
OF the advance, and even nearer
the front, some of the "old timers"
of those days wrote to the editors
insisting that the Civil war was won
on "salt horse and likker" Il recall
that phrase in one of the letters)
and we were just soitening the boys.
Well, it didn't soften them too
soft for Chateau Thierry and the
Argonne.
Then came World War II, and
some Of the veterans of the earlier
war raised their eyebrows at the
USO, turkey dinners at the front
on Thanksgiving, ice cream lin
stead of beans, salmon, corn willy
or nothing).
But, soldier, you amt heard
nuttin!
When they say "This is the army,
Mr.. JONES'" to you future G.I.s,
you'll hardly believe it.
Did you hear what Field Marshal
(blood, sand, and green for the
Normandy hedges) Montgomery
had to say? He believes enlisted
men in the British army ought to
live like other folks. Bedrooms, not
barracks.
"You had your breakfast in bed
BEFORE" goes the warning song,
but you won't have it there any
more" Maybe not. But if Monty
has his way, British soldiers can
read in bed.
And what about those tricky uni
forms American soldiers are going
to wear?
Blue! Cike the boys in blue who
said goodbye to Blue BelD. And
perhaps "two-note," with a light
er shade for the trousers! And
overcoats AND CAPES!
You aren't in the army now, Mr..
Jones. You're in grand opera!
And then there is that terminal
leave pay bill passed by congress,
suppose, to pacify the fellows
who got out of the army without
knowing what they were going to
miss. Almost three billion dollars
dumped into G.I. pockets to even
them up with what the officers re-
ceived for furloughs they hadn't
| taken.

the mysterious car raced off down
