Another. equally prevslnR to those who have to worry about it, is what to do with the horns thai don't toot, the pianos that have Ins 1 iheir divides, tho gi anilfuihei clocks that can't even tick, let alone boom out the hours, and the Uonrneiitt, fire bells, school bells nnd bell buoys that photograph ull rignt but sound like wood or plus- ; ter to the microphone.

After a few more months of, talkie production tho property de- : pailinents will be as well stocked with things that, sound real as they now are with things that look real. .Meanwhile, hou'ever, the rental de partments of those studios which , have begun to insist on photo- graphing scenes with genuine in cidental sounds as well as genuine 1 dialogue art having a merry time' keeping up with the demands of directors. lCven the simplest sounds have proved wontlruusly difficult to de liver. A locomotive bell, for ex- ' was needed In n certain scene. It was taken for granted . that any number of bells could be rented on an hour's notice from i one of the railroads here. Hut not ! a rail road shop in Los Angeles had 1 one t. spare. Finally a hell that could get leave of absence from its regular d title long enough tn ring for the movies was found In an, aut-of-town shop. A similar chase resulted when an . ordinary street car gong was want- ed in a hurry. Fvery gong in I.os Aug les was In actual sei vice oit home street car, tt seemed, and could not be spared.

I e r haps as wild a chase for a genuine sound as any yet pre cipitated by a director's "go get it" order resulted from the discovery, after arrival of a talking picture troupe on location In l"tah. that there were no records on harjd tov playing on an old-stylo cylinder phonograph, period of 1S!)5, which was scheduled to be heard among the incidental sounds In a scene the next day. A telegram was sent tn the stu dio rental man here. He finally rounded up 30 cylindrical records f-M-an(eed to squawk perlod-of-1S95 popular music. After that all that was necessary to get them, on the set before morning was to hire an airplane to fly them to lTtah. : mm j ; ' km I inpiE AN OVATION greeted the New 1929 Duraut 60 Nowseven days laterthat ovation has grown r . . i a i . i into a veritable landslide ot puimc approval.
