THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1929 PAGE ELEVEN Interesting Pen Impres- + sions of the Coming Attractions on ... THE LOCAL SCREEN Who's Who & What's What in the Amuse- ment World / Talkies Reveal New Voices of Actors "The Fall of Eve" the first ple- 'dures to be played at the New Martin Theatre under the new pol- 'fey of sound and talking pictures promises to be a treat. Manager Marks is leaving nothing undone in' order to produce a perfect sound in his Theatre. With the advent of talking pic- tures, stars are discovering that they had false impressions of the sound of their voices. Patsy Ruth Miller, who plays the leading fem- inine role in "The Fall of Eve," felt a peculiar sensation when she found that the childish treble she thought she talked in was really a very different sound, "The first time I ever heard my voice over the mike," said Patsy Ruth Miller, "1 didn't know it was I. Although I could see my lips moving it didn't seam possible that that voice belonged to me. For the moment I thought they had faked somebody else's voice but people who were with me claimed that my voice over the mike sounded exactly the same as I do when talking in life. "After this first experience of hearing myself talk, I discussed the phenomenon with a group of other picture folk and they told me that no one ever hears his own voice. When one is talking he im- agines he hearg himself, but in reality it is simply the sound being recorded on the brain without passing through the inner ear in the way that other peoples' voices do. That 18 why I had such a weird sensation when I found that tiie childish treble 1 thought I talked in was really a very different sound, "I find it more difficult and less interesting to work in silent films since I made my talking debut. Although actors in silent films acutally say their lines, they do not have the sense of responsibil- ity nor the same feeling that they do when they know their voices are. being, recorded. Somehow, it seems as though there was some- thing lacking on a silent film stage after the absolute quiet and the essity for careful enunciation n the sqund stage.' 3 Appearing with Patsy Ruth Mil- Jer in * Fall of Eve' are Ford Sterling, ' Gertrude Astor, Arthur Rankin, Jed Prouty, Betty Far- pington, Fred Kelsey and Hank Mann; Frank Strayer directed.
