Conrad Nagel, who has been found to have vocal ability, is reported tq be in great favour. Gladys Brock well, who was famous in former days, is likely to become a star qnee again. Irene Rich has achieved success in talking films. Others whose voices appear to have satisfied the American public are May McA.voy and Betty Bronson. So far, however, few pro(,luctrs except Warner Brothers, have released their talking films.
