TAXING THE "TALKIES"
TO FOSTER LOCAL MUSIC
PROPOSAL IN AUSTRALIA
SYDNEY, 19 th February.
Tho question' of banning mechanical music, which is displeasing to the orchestras of picture houses, will be raised at the Premiers' Conference next week.
The Victorian Premier, Mr. Hogan, holds definite views on the subject. He declares that musicians, after having spent a lifetime in study, are now misfits in any other calling simply owing to the strangehold which America had upon the cinema industry. He added that it was only a question of time when they would havo no real musicians. ■ He expressed tho opinion, that the only, way to deal with actors and actresses in the talkies was to tax them just as is being done in the case of those appearing in Australia in person.
