PLAYS FOR TALKING
FILMS.
OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE
GOOD."
(BY WILLIAM POLLOCK.)
There can be no argument about the talking films; they are coming. I came away from the first night öf the opening programme at the
Piccadilly Theatre with two definite feelings
One was that the talking firms are likely to raise the general level of the stage greatly. The other, that they will, in a few years' time, solve the problem of the Sunday
theatre.
+
The talking firms are obviously going to be so good that the theatre will have to put its very best foot forward against them. This may mean a decrease in the number of theatres presenting plays. It will not be very surprising it two or so years hence a number of London theatres are given over.to all-star caste playing and speaking in, taik- ing flas
The Sunday evening side of the business is almost a foregone con- clusion. No legislation is required only the films.

Mr. Cochran's View.
There are at least a dozen plays and performances of our time worth preserving by the medium of the talking film. What they should be is a provocative question.
Mr. Charles B. Cochran expressed the opinion to me the other even- ing that it is doubtful if revue would be very popular, because people who go revue want to ace

A Wonderful Voice If Sir Johnstone Forbes-Robertson "could be persuaded, it would be a grand thing to have a talking film of his Hamlet." I heard him speak from the stage recently, and his voice is still wonderful. For Ophelia there would be Miss Fay Compton, who played the character in Mr. John Barrymore's production at the Haymarket, and gave one of finest performances of her
the career.
