What the World has Waited for — THE SPEAKING PICTURE EDWARD MARSHALL one of the world's leading paper men in a letter to Dr. De Forest wrote is follows: "The experienced newspaper man sees and hears niany strange things. That's his business. But he seldom encounters rtiagic. Your "Phonofilm" is magic. To reproduce pictures by light is no longer amazing; to talk with light is as astonishing as the miracles of old. And you are doing it. Your speaking picture is the greatest contribution to education and entertainment which has been made in more than a decade. Bernhardt died the Other day. If she had spent an hour before your camera, she never could have died. Lincoln's Gettysburg address is the greatest bit of modern literature in print. It is an inspiration. If we had it and hint on the "Phonofilm" as he delivered that address, it would be greater than literature; it would be Lincoln living in actual breathing immortality." Dr. Lee De Forest, one of the b:st known Inventors, and one of the pioneers in wireless telegraphy, has achieved the perfect speaking picture—the Phonofilm. . Dr. De Forest has solved the problem of synchronization ol voice or music with pictures. The Phonofilm, as its name implies, is the combination on the same film of picture with voice or music photographically recorded. It is the sensation or the motion picture world. Its future possibilities and earnings are beyond computing. Phonofilm pictures are exhibited in the leading picture theatres of America, and, as iridicated in a cable received a few weeks ago, "are going Strong." . In England Thonofilm pictures are being successfully made and will be shown all over Great Britain shortly. The New Zealand Company will obtain supplies from both countries and also make its own. > The Phonofilm is so remarkable an achievement that the lay mind cannot readily grasp it. , All who have been orivileged tJ see the demonstrations m Wellington have gone awav most impressed with the possibilities awaiting the company exhibiting and producing Phonofilm in this Dominion. A new era in the motion picture is promised through the Phonofilm —probably the revolutionizing of the motion picture industry. THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS The exclusive rights of Phonofilm will be,held by the New Zealand Company. The Company will have a capital of £30,000 in pound Shares. '£19,600 sharM are being offered to the New Zealand public and in view of the possible results as Outlined in the Prospectus they ihould be In great demand by Investors. fc .

Dear Sirs—Allow me to heartily congratulate you on the marvellous De Forest Phonofilm Demonstration given in the Tivoli Theatre during the past week. .As a showman with intimate connections with the moving picture industry extending over the past twenty (20) years, I am certain there is a great future before yOur speaking pictures, ( and silent picture programmes will be made increasingly popular by the inclusion of phonofilms, adding, as they will, great variety to the programmes of picture theatres.
