FILMS FOR LAW WORK

POSSIBILITIES AHEAD. j A. further use for sound motion pictures is proved by a recent patent a<-| tiun in the Chancery Division, when,, after having witness a film showing the working of a glass making machine, thel Justice paid tribute to the value of the cinema in such litigation. He said that he had gained an im pression very quickly of how the ma- « bine worked, and he was not sure that his subsequent examination of the draw ings would not confuse that impression. “This is the first time L have seen such 9. display,” he added, “and the film has brought to my mind more quickly than anything else 4ould have done bowrhe machine works. It is the most useful thing I have seen done in a patent action. I don’t know bow expensive it is to make a film, but it seems to me that in these cases the saving of costs: must be enormous.” Thus the talking picture finds yeti

another use. Already it has invaded I the industrial, educational, medical and I religious fields. Sound films on indusj trial and medical subjects, made under , the auspices of the Western Electric - Company, are at present in New ZeaI land. Representative groups of doctors and nurses at various centres who have ■ been privileged to see the medical subJ jects have passed very favourable comj ments on their value, while tlro.se who have seen the industrial films have been equally well impressed with the possi- • bilities of the talkie in business. t J The tie is the most important item i of a man’s wardrobe, according to j William Powell. V illiam Powell has three leading . Kay Francis, Carole Lombard (. and ‘ >livp Tell, in his new Paramount j. picture, “Ladies’ Man.” ‘! Regis Toomey, Paramount film *| player, made his New York stage 'debut as an understudy for Dennis J King in “Rose Marie.”
