Explaining the Reason Why the Talkies Talk Only an insignificant minority of the millions who thrill to the realism of motion picture sound have even a vague notion of how this modern miracle is produced. YÂ¥et, according to Mr. L. Moore, manager of the new Broadway Theatre, the public is not without a great deal of curiosity on this subâ€" jJect. Years of listening to radio, to public address systems and to motion picture sound have made them disâ€" criminatingly crilical of the difference between good and bad sound, he said. For this reason that the management of the Broadway Theatre recently asked the engincers from the great RCA Victor enginsering laboratories to install their latest achieverment in sound motion picture reproducing sysâ€" tems. This sound system has been named the "Magic Voice of the Sscreen" because of its remarkable capabilities. "It is surprising," said Mr. Moore, "how many people will ask ‘What makes the talkies talk? The process is extraordinarily interesting and not as hard to understand as one might suppase. "fo begin with, the sound you hear Sound System at the Broadway Theatre Explained by. Manager L. Moore. New Theatre Specially Designed and Equipped to Assure the Best Results. CGlamorous human creatures flit back and forth across a large silver sheet, their faces wreathed and contorted in the entire gamut of human emotion, and as they speak, millions of auditors gathered in hundreds of motion picâ€" ture theatres sit spellâ€"bound. A shatâ€" tering, thundering, earthâ€"shaking catastrophe is pictured on this same silver sheet and these same millions gasp, shudder and cringe as they live through the terrifying experience in the safety of their plush covered seats. All the stirring, startling, soothing, rasping, thrilling sounds that conâ€" stitute the audible phase of human emotions and situations are faithfully reproduced in the modern motion piâ€" ture with such realism that we, the auditors, literally cnlarge our experiâ€" ence by living through them.

"This sounds much more complicated than it is But to put it simply this is how it‘s done. The motion picture studio is a good deal like a radio studto. The sound is first picked up by aA milcrophone which converts the sound waves into corresponding electrical waves very much the same way as the telephone receiver does. The elecâ€" trical waves are then amplified to sufâ€" ficient strength to make them vibrate a tiny mirror. These vibrations corâ€" respond exactly to the characteristies of the original sound waves. A bright light is then focussed on the mirror so that its vibrating reaction strikes the film negative. Now we have the light waves which can be photographed â€"and the wavy fluctuations on the soundâ€"track are the result. "The reproducing process in the theatre is cording p "‘The film is threaded into the projecâ€" tor and the motor staried up. The film then moves at exactl; the same speed at which it was recorded.

The electric current thus produced is builtâ€"up in volume by amplifiers and to operate the loudspeakers, which are situated: behind the screen. The screen itself has tiny perforations to permit the unimpeded flow of sound from the speakers and yet present a smooth reflecting surface for the proâ€" jection of the picture. Thus we have, in a few seemingly simple, but in reality highly critical stages, the miracle of the modern sound motion picturs," concluded Mr. Moore. General A. G. MceNaughton Makes Appeal to Youth London, June 18â€"Lt.â€"Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, commander of Canaâ€" da‘s army overseas, appealed: to the Dominion‘s young manhood last nigl!t to enlist for active service. "Under our voluntary system of rsâ€" cruiting," he said in a broadcast mesâ€" sage to Canadians, "a grave responâ€" stbility rests with the individuai. Accept that responsibility, and come forward for enlistment now." "You have a higher level of inteligâ€" ence and initiative than the en@my,* he said. "You have that spirit of coâ€" operation or team play which is ss essential and in physical fitness and endurance you need defer to no one.: Gen. McNaughton said there was "full scope for every conceivable kind of talent in the modern Canadian ariny and yvoung men should not hesitate to offer their services because the Empire could not afford to lose a "single day." "These matters are urgent," he said. "The German armies sprawl out across Europe . . . but sooner or later, action is bound to come in this, the one deâ€" cisive theatre of war." He traced Canada‘s transition from a peacetime to wartime footing. "At the outbreak of war many volunteers had to be turned away," he said. "But now industry has passed through the transition stage from # peacetifne to a wartime footing ana already is well advanced." He described how mechanization had become the dominating factor in army composition and declared the Canadiar eqducational system had fitted Canaâ€" dians particularly well for this type of fighting. Gen. McNaughton gave a brief deâ€" scription of the modern army, with its wide range of scientific devices and modern improvements. These improveâ€" ments were not "luxuries but absolure necessitiesâ€"antidotes to some specific danger" which the enemy might bring into play. Medical Aid Plan Now in Effect at Kirkland Lake "When the history of this time comes to be written, and comparisons drawn between the nature of the armâ€" ed forces placed in combat in 1914 and the present time, the fact which wIil stand out is the increase in mechanizaâ€" tion," he said. Reference was made recently. to the Medical Aid plan proposed by the Kirkland Lake Mines. According to the following from the last issue of The Northern Miner, the plan is now in full force and effect, with a majorâ€" ity of the mines at Kirkland Lake putâ€" ting it into effect on June ist. The Northern Miner says:â€"â€" Effective June first, a majority oi the mines of the Kirkland Lake camp have adopted a plan of medical aid for emplovees and their families, involyvâ€" ing nominal cost to the employees. The purpose of the plan is to proâ€" vide medical, surgicul and hospital care, as economically as possible, for ali employees of the companics inâ€" volved, their wives and children, residâ€" ing within the township of Teck or in the immediate vicinity of Kirkland Lake. The plan govers all regular emâ€" | ployees of the mines, their wives and* dependent children under 18 years of age. The cost to married employees is $2.75 per month and for single emâ€" ployees $1.75 per month.
