Mo a burst of applause from the invisible; audience know then there has been Mr D. some bit of stage business which Mr Christophorsch have had to miss, and when these silent Mr S. Christopherson intervals are frequent there is a serious diminution of one's pleasure. For the effort to visualize the hidden scene is always in operation, and nothing is 50 wearisome, as" wasted effort. Even when there is no dramatic action, when, for

con instane, they are broadcasting a carto of a symphony. I find that I men

I can see tally viruplier an orchestra. the bows of the first violias" all sway- ing together, as well as hear the notes they sound. And when the audience break out into applause I see them, too. in my mind's eye. Of course, the mental picture is only a vague blurred thing; to be alone and seeing a crowd in your imagination is a very different thing from being in the thick of a real crowd. But my point is that the visual imagi. pation is always there to supplement the Auditory sensation. You do not lisen to hidden performers without forming some sort of image of them in your mind.

On the other hand, at a motion-picture I do not find that any imaginary sounds come to me to supplement the visual im pression. "The Sgures are in conversa tion they move their lips, but what words their lips are forming I can only deduce from their actions. It is logical process i go through: from their behaviour I judge that GL tain words must have passed between them. What matters is their behaviour, uot their speech. A continuous dramatic. action may be quite easily represented by Mr & Mrs Banneraza behaviour alone.

The classic instance is Lord Burleigh's nod. These are the things the film cannot poss ibly do, and that wireless telephony can do with perfect case.
