Charlie Chaplin's voice will never be heard in a talkie. Ho has made his decision after an exhaustive test, a test which was typical of the genius he is (says the New York correspondent of the London "Sunday Express). When "City Lights," his latest film, on which he has been working or months, and much of which he has "scrapped," and then retaken, is shown, it will contain sound effcets. You will hear Charlie some time before you see him on the screen;.the sound of the shuilile of those inimitable feet lias been caught by the microphone, and, like "noises off" on the stage, it will herald the advent of the hero. But as for talking—never!
