“TALKIE” OPTIMISM
William DeMille, the movie direc-
tor, characterizes the talkies in a
published article as “a child of Moth-^
or Movie and Father Stage.” In aj
Kg|j way this is pointed, but no human in- j
Cant has ever received the paeans ofj
praise and the broadside criticism that
have greeted the talkies. Some can |
not endure them and some will never,
be content with anything else. 1 he J
latter demand the novelty and the,
'■machine-made voice of their favorites,J
, so picture houses all over the coun-
try are clamoring for outfits which ^
can not be supplied fast enough, i
i Even equipped houses can’t get talk-,
ies enough, it is stated, and “the stu- j
dios are frantically tacking bits of i
dialogue adn song into pictures ori- ^
ginally intended to be silent.” Of j
one thing we can be reasonably sure:!

j rapidly than was the case in over-
! coming the technical problems of the
silent movies.
Mr. DeMille rather obscurely re-
marks that the “percentage of eye-

' cern’s business becomes closely asso-
ciated with the public desire for news.
The public is eagerly desirous to
know the latest things that have hap-
pened, and it buys and reads the
newspapers with keen interest. Right
among this news it finds also the
news of the home stores, and thei***
announcements are read with the
same keen interest that is given to
general and local news. People are
influenced thereby to visit these
stores and inspect and buy the bar-
gains therein offered.
Just as the people go to the cross
roads postoffice and get their mail,4'
and thus are led to buy in the store
