full of buch silent odds and ends,
collected in the days when n good

After a few more months of,
talkie production tho property de- :

with things that, sound real as they
now are with things that look real.
.Meanwhile, hou'ever, the rental de

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

that any number of bells could be

a rail road shop in Los Angeles had 1
one t. spare. Finally a hell that
could get leave of absence from its

stances to lure Jolson from tho'

an abruptness, which got him into
a lawsuit. He had no thought of

He protested that his contract

than the producers were willing

Homebody suggested Jolson for
the part. Jolson happened to
be Idle, and took It. The picture
was so successful that he cast his

scale, providing til percent in
