The first “talking film” drama, “Till the Bells Ring,” in which the sound waves of the actors’ voices are' photographically reoorded and electrically, reproduced simultaneously with the motion picture, has been completed at the de Forrest Phono-Films studio. Graham Moatt, who in 1914 toured New Zealand in “Bunty Pulls the Strings” and other plavs and his wife and daughter played the leading parts. Mr Moffatt stated that the synchronisation of voice and movement was faultless. It opened up a new aoting field, and possibly would help to break the American film monopoly beoauso each oountry was likely to demand “talking films” in its own language or with its own accent.
