THE SILVER SCREEN.
QUEEN'S THEATRE,
"MADAM SATAN,"
That reserve power" in voices is far more important than, pitch, timbre, or any other measure of quality, is the belief of Cecil B. De Mille, producer-director for Metro. Goldwyn-Mayer, whose spectacular. new comedy with music, Madam Setan," is at the Queen's Theatre..
"All of this business about special lessons in voice for screen. stars is bosh," De Mille stated in a recent interview. "It isn't whe they a voice is mechanically perfect that counts; it is what that voice gets over to the audience in the way of emotional feeling.
"A man or a girl can squeak, { they can even lisp, if they will only give me in their voices that emotion. el reserve power which existed, in pantominic films, so very remark- ably in the face of Gloria Swanson, Theodore Roberta and others I might mention.
"In choosing Kay Johnson för the exotic name-role of Madam Satan, it so huppened that Miss Johnson has an extraordinarily fing

No one can quarrel with the way either one of them, produces un numerous songs they have in the picture.

#MUSIC FROM THE ETHER.”
Easily the most remarkable turn to come to the Star Theatre on Saturday and one never before associated with a music-hall, comes. strictly under the heading of science though in a secondary way censiderable art is required in its operation: This is described in the programme as "Music from the Ether,"
a fanciful, ghrase that con ceals one of the most significant discoveries of our time.
3. Maurice Martenot, n Paris musician and suigutist is the in- ventor of this new apparatus. There can be no question that M. Martenot, working along somewhat similar lines to that of AI, Theremin, has gone much further towards producing, perfect musical tones from what is colloquially described as ether waves.
It is now possible to control these tones so as to imitato very closely the various timbers of the modern orchestral instruments. It is possible to play staccato, notes, to accentuate any note or notes in a musical phrase. It is possible to vary the dynamic value from a very considerable "fortissimo to the faintest whisper. Further while M. Theremin played on the air. w to speak, in this now apparatus, the operator halda a wire in his hand, and by a sort of sketch plan of a keyboard (placed, for conveni- ence, on the foor at his feet), he can, as it were, visualise pitch. That is to say, he can "eight" the pitch with one hand and thus avoid playing out of tune,
Here is a revolution in murical science. Both the art and thr. science of itsre in their infancy, and both are as cortain to progress. ne wireless science has progressed since those days, not so many years ago, when Mr. Marconi was experi- menting in a garden, with the frame of an ordinary unbrella.
