Voice Moves on Screen
A NEW talking movie film in which the actor's voice moves around the screen with his figure was demonstrated to the Society of Motion Picture Engineers in New York. If the screen figure spoke from the left of the picture, his voice came from the left side of the house'..' The answer of a figure on the opposite side of the screen came frofn the ngh't side
of the house. If the actor moved back from the front of the picture, his voice receded with his figure. The new film uses a double sound track for the first time, to produce the "sterophonic" sound, and it was announced as the first commercial film of its kind. These lifelike sound effects have been produced in laboratories for several years. The expense has kept them from being adopted by movies.
