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
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
$500, was loaned to every other
company in Hollywood and in the
first two years of talkies, he made
81 films.
Westerns Take Lead.
Recording sound for Westerns

now total more box Office receipts
than any other type of picture.
Joan Crawford and Greta
Garbo both thought someone
was playing a joke on them
by substituting mems voices
when they first heard record
ings of their own voices. Wal
lace Beery made talkie
for Paramount - his first -
promptly was fired and went
to MGM. He's been there
ever since.
Zazu Pitts of silent days was con-
sidered great dramatic actress.
Her voice on the sound track
ruined it all and she wisely
switched to comedy and made her
fortune as a funny girl. Charlie
Chaplin, silent and sound comedian
of the early days, even now is
planning a comeback after six
years of absence.
Started in 1927.
Picture and sound recorded and
synchronized on the same piece OF
film caused little excitement when
it first was shown to the public
in Schenectady, N. Y, in 1927. So
the late Charles A. Hoxie of Schen-
ectady, who developed it in the
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
industry put into general use the
Hoxie machine. Today it is used
by practically every movie COM
pany in the country.

OLD WESTERN STYLE

MADISON, WIS. - Defying mod

Wood county farmers have band
ed together in the old-time vigi-
lante system to curb recent out
break of cattle rustling here.
An SOS over a rural party tele-
phone line prompted the first con-
certed manhunt, when so farmers,
packing guns in old vigilante style,
set out on quest for rustlers. They
beat a wooded sector from mid
night until dawn but the rustlers
had disappeared.
Bernard Kroening, who lives in
nearby Rock, saw car slip up to

Farmers Pack Guns to Curb Rust|ers

Although hampered by fog, the
farmers beat through bushes and
thickets for hours without finding
the rustlers. Two Marshfield traf-
fic officers and several deputies
helped them.
An electric wire which charged
a fence on the Kroening farm had
been turned off by the thieves, and
the farmers theorized that the
men had made careful prepara-
tions for herding the animals
through the fence when a truck
arrived later.
In previous rustling incident,
mysterious strangers fired on a
farmer who came upon them un.
expectedly on his farm near Wis

While this same innkeeper can
sell only 80 beer, his fellow bar
keepers across the state line have
some of the best-stocked bars in
the West.
"In Nevada, if a man wants
drink, he orders one or two, then
he's happy-and satisfied" Giffen
said. "In Utah, he has to get
permit, 60 to the state-owned store
and buy a quart. Then he feels he
has to drink the whole quart. So
he doesn't show up for work the

Petitions will be presented to

proved there, must be accepted by

UTAH-NEVADA.

WENDOVER, UTAH-NEVADA.
Reminiscent of the Civil war con-

1000 residents of the Utah part OF
this little Bonneville salt flats town
of $500 to secede from Utah so
they can join their other 500 towns
folk as residents of Nevada, where
a man can do anything he wants
well, almost anything.
"Utah doesn't even seem to know
we're in the state and apparently
doesn't even care if we're in the
Union," bewailed Lester Giffen,
spokesman for the secessionists.
Main complaint against Utah is
the fact that the Beehive states
laws are too strict.

Two Music Treats

Two musical events Of outstanding
interest are in store for Whining
tonians shortly. On Friday night OF
this week, at the High school audlto-
rum, Laura Howell Norden will present
her orchestra, composed OF student
artists, in it's third spring appearance.
Since Mrs. Norden undertook to
organize and train high school orches-
ira it has made marked progress, each
year revealing a fine advance beyond
the year before. Friday nights per-
Torrance is to be especially notable
for the appearance Of Mrs. Robert
Whitaker, flutist, of Mama university,
as guest soloist.
Then on the following Tuesday night,
at $3.50, in the same hall, The Concert
Association will present Alexander
Kipnis in the final concert of it's cur
rent season.
Mr.. Kipnis is member of the Metro
politan Opera Company and possesses
rich bass baritone which is under
such perfect control that it has been
aptly compared, in pianissimo pas
sages, with the gentle sweetness of the
z string when the violin is played by
q master.
Concert Association members will
be missing a genuine treat if they al
low other engagements to keep them
away from the Kiplins concert.

that not even Solomon could solve.
In the meantime, stark famine is
stalking India. If Great Britain hopes
ever to bring peace in this country
# would seem her chief effort now
would be directed to relieving the
thousands of starving Indians who are
daily dropping in their tracks, never
to rise.
The United States is ready to go
the limit in feeding the hungry hordes
along with the millions in like need
in Europe. But here, we believe, would
be an opportunity for Britain lmme-
diately to ship large share OF her
"pipeline' surplus breadstuff Herbert
Hoover discussed in his radio message
from Cairo.
At this time India needs food more
than politics.

By JOHN SKIES

This is a fateful little item
about a friend OF mine who's just
had his fifth vertebra broken.
Just to suggest to you the trick
mess and contrariness of the Eng
lish language, the item isn't really
fateful and it wasn't really my
friends fifth vertebra that was
cracked. 1t wasn't the fifth in that
he'd had four others cracked be-
fore. 1t was fifth in that it was his
No. 5 vertebra that was cracked.
And the story isn't fateful, but
the events leading up to and sur
rounding the cracking are fateful.
The friend is Mr.. George E. Via
and he used to be my boss in a
casual sort of way. BY which
casual mean that he hired me,
could fire me, kept his executive
finger on my vsgaries. raised my
pay when was good boy, and in
Dictated his displeasure with me
when l was a bad boy. But, never
theless, We were, and are, friends
despite the fact there were times
when the things l saw in the way
of doing business didn't exactly
present roseate picture to him.
And vice versa. Parenthetically,
the vice versa didn't amount to a
whole lot and didn't pull any too
