BALTIC STATES' FEARS OF FOREIGN "TALKIES."
In the Baltic States, such as
Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, fears are already being' expressed lest the talking film should prove a menace to the national cultures of the smaller European peoples.
When the talking film kills the silent film, as seems inevitable, the cinema enthusiasts of the smaller nationalities will insist on seeing (and hearing) the best, flma. pro- duced by the best managers, and played by the best actors.
But the best talking films can only be produced by the wealthier nations for instance, the English, French,
German-speaking nations, closely followed by Russin,. Spain, and Italy. Estonia, with

Nor could either export talking films of its own since its language fa little known outside Its own territory.
Thus it follows, since films have become almost as necessary to the public as its daily bread, that the populations of these small countries will have to listen to foreign talk ing films, as they now look at foreign silent films. Such films will, no doubt, help the study of foreign languages, but they will also in course of time, It is feared, deal a blow at the culture of these -people, and develop a tendency to
