MR CHAPLIN WILL NOT TALK
“TAKING ART OUT (OF THE SCREEN.” HOLLYWOOD, California, U.S., APRIL 3. “1 will never play in ‘talkies.’ They are ruining tne motion picture art,” says Mr Charles Chaplin, the film, comedian. He does not like to see other people in talking films, and believes that their production has already taken a great deal of art out of the screen. He hopes that they will prove to be merely a fad. According to him: Dialogue pictures are not melodious; they are merely tinny. They bring out all the crudities. Silent films permit audiences to place their own interpretations on every act and gesture, anil it is the test of the actor to put over his meaning with these. That is cut out in “talkies.”
