CRITICS CRITICISED

THÈ CHINA MAIN

Mr. Fairbanks was very enthu Blastic of the way the British critics have acclaimed this film "Taming the Shrew." He was however, dissatisfied with the New York critics. "They have only a superficial knowledge," he said "and are simply content to describe a thing as marvellous."

What do you think of the talkies, and do you think they are going to last?” he was asked.

"Oh, Heavens, yes! We are only at the starting point of it. Look what, we can put on the acreen through it: Sound, voice and colour. You ought to hear them in New York, London or Berlin and you would be amazed at the progress that, has been made. The mechanical difficulties

are practically all settled, and all sorts of new inventions are being tried out to give stereoscopic effects, colours, and a true voice reproduction. The "funnel" voice, as though the actors were speak! ing through a megaphone, which you probably get with your in- stallation here, has gone, and they are working now on a new Inven- |tion which will make an enormous

difference."

PROPORTION WRONG

"You know, I think another mis- take which is being made with 'talkies' now is that the propor tion of talking and silent parts is wrong, it is much too great, the talking parts ought not to be more than 10 or 16 per cent, in my opinion."

Emboldened by his friendliness, he was asked why the Ameri- can voice was so frightfully diff cult to, understand?
