J Tho brinelnR of theno two mar

KiveH to city and vulley screen fol
io went tho Kami) up-to-date wrvlce
iih Ih offered in metropolitan cen
tern. . It In hiHhly prohahle that "The
Jazz Hlntfer," a wonder picture in
which A I .Jolnon Ih the Htar, will
be the opening number. "The
Hovenlh Heaven," a Fox produc
tion Ih also Hcheduled for an early
appearance.
The Vltaphone Is uned In screen
productions and haa been perfect
ed, until the audience heart tho
words and singing of the actoi-H, in
unison with the picture!. In "The
Jazz Klnger," Al Jolson Is seen and
heard In five of his son km.
The Movietone Ih used with news
reelH. und Is the latest film feu
til re. Jf a president n peaks, Is seen
talking In a news reel, his voice 1m
hiuird, along with the eheent of
the crowd. If tho subject is an
nuto race, or airplane event, the
hum of the motors Is reproduced
in natural tones.
The Vltuphone Is a marvellous
contrivance that reproduces the
voices of the actors and synchro
nizes the music of a film that Is
of those pictures taken In hUhIIoh
by this proce.HH, and the Movie
tone, also marvellous, can be used
with news reels where the film Is
taken with the process. Not all
films are taken hy the new pro
cess, but many of the big feature
pictures are.
For Instance, if tho Student
Prince, now showing at the (Va
lerian theater had been taken hy
tho Vitn phone-Movietone process,
while viewing this beautiful film
you could hear the voices of the
uctors, you could hear the mnb
chorus singing the raplvatlng Old
Heidelberg songs, nnd the clinking
of their beur glasses.
Med ford will be tho only city In
the stale outside of 1'urtland, hav
ing this modern equipment, except
possibly Salem, where such equip
ment may be Installed at the new
KIslnore theater In a few weeks.
Where the Vita phone-Movietone
process Is used In filming, nnd re
produced on the screen of n thea
ter equipped with this wonder re
producing voice und music equip
ment, no theater organ or orches
tra. Is used, as the music is t-unmM
In the film as tho latter Is made.
For instance. In tho Seventh
Heaven feature plrture which
comes here soon tho audience
hears the musls of a 1 07 -piece
symphony orchestra which played
when the films were taken.
This modern reproducing equip
ment can be used In short subjects
on the theater program, taking the
place of the regulation short com
edy ns for Instance star vaude
ville acts could ho given with the
dfincing of the nctorH and their
voices beln; heard uh well as their
movements being seen.
Nnt nil the moving pictures to
be shown at the Craterian will be
given by this modern process when
the Vita phone-. Movietone process

frequently given.
