Western Electric New Process
Noiseless Recording, considered
the greatest advance in its field in
tlie last four years, is latest con
tribution to tho art of talking pic
tures. It Is a system for recording
which eliminates all. extraneous
sounds, hissing and scratching
noises.
The new process was developed
In West Coast Laboratories. The
first picture produced utilizing It
is Paramount's "The Right to
Love," starring Ruth Chatlerton,
which opens at tho Fox Craterian
theater today.
Tho development of this new
process is a result of many years'
work on the part of the sound
engineers to eliminate tho "ground
noises" which have marred tho
perfect enjoyment of talking pic
tures. Now it is possible- to record
and reproduce in theatres tho
faintest of sounds without having
them "masked' or covered up by
these extraneous, hissing and
scratching sounds. Every syllabic
of even the softest spoken words,
whispering and Bobbing become
clearly audible.
Ono hushed gasp out of utter
stillness may climax a dramatic
crisis. A single low won) alter a
long silence will startle the wall
ing audience.
Motion picture audiences aro
well awaro of the hissing or
scratching sound which becomes
audible ns soon as the sound ap
paratus Is switched on. In other
words, during tho silent introduc
tory title of a picture everything
is (iulet. Just before the recorded
portions of tho film start listeners
are warned of tho coining sound
by the scraping ground noise com
ing from the screen. While in
good recording this ground noise
is not particularly offenslvo, It
nevertheless means that any whis
pers or low level sounds on tho
film must be raised artificially to
a relatively high volume if not
to be masked by tho noise of the
system Itself.
While tho problem can be sim
ply stated, tho method for its solu
tion has been many years in thn
making. At last, however, the film
recording machine has been so
modified that all audible evidences
of Its mechanical nature have been
removed and Under the new Wes
tern Electric ( ocess it Is now pos
sible to record the lowest whispers
in thrilling silence. Fortunately
ill is innovation comes at a time
w hen a u d i e n ces a rc do ma nd I n g
more realistic sound and at a lime
when producers aro using less
dMoguo and more silence.
Love Is Like a Potato
By i:illK CANTOR
(Copyright lt30 Collier's Weekly)
The main New Year's problem
facing many a young man today is
how to pick a bride.
He should get a physical chart
of his beloved and com pure her
weight. Hie size of her chest ex
pansion, nock, ankle and reach
with his own. Tex Rickard would
have been the right man for this
department.
Most husbands have very little
data about their wives. The other
day I asked a stage hand "What's
the color of your wife's eyes?"
"That's funny! ho said, "I
can't remember. Though ono of
them, I think, is black."
"And how about her reach?"
"No matter where I hung my
pants, she reaches them."
Another important thing is to
get the bride's pedigree. How long
her parents have been in business
and why not; how many young
brothers she has nnd what fur;
nnd who supported her before you
did and why it can't continue.
Because if marriage is to bo put
on a sound business basis, it should
start with some kind of capital,
I don't say that bachelors should
form a union ond fix prices. But
a catalog could be arranged and
probably some husbands could be
hud for us low us a hundred soap
coupons, I know severtil young
fellow who made a successful
business of marriage after falling
in other lines.
One feature that never fails to
make marriage interesting is the
question of a man's past. But even
if a man hasn't had a past he can
build one up out of his family al- ;
bum. I know n harmless old cod-
ger, faithfully married since the
first day he shaved, who weaves
tho most romantic lies about pic
tures he took HO years ago.
He tried to impress me with a
photograph of himself . and his
sweetheart taken at Coney Island
that shows them sitting in a paper
boat in front of linen clouds.
"That." he said, "Is tho girl 1
saved from drowning In the Medi
terranean sea."
"(io on!'' I gasped.
"You wouldn't believe It, but sho
belonged to the royal family, 1
think she was tho Italian king's
daughter." Ilo drew calmly at his
pipe. "Yep! I was rowing care
lessly along In mid-ocean when I
heard two peoplo arguing In the
water close by me in muffled tones'
Their tones were muffled because
they were both refined people and
because their mouths were filled
with water. I noticed that the girl
was struggling with the other per
son, who was a man, so 1 dived in,
knocked the duke on the head and
took the Italian spaghetti manu
facturer's daughter into my yacht."
And ho turned to tho next pic-
