A NEW ART
“TALKIES” ARE PERMANENT According to Jesse L. Laskyy vicepresident of the Paramount organisation in charge of production, the coming of the talking picture has created a new artistic medium, in which the best qualities of stage and screen can be combined. "Tlie all-talking picture, Mr. Lasky states, "gives the greatest opportunity for dramatic expression ever given to man. Hitherto sight and hearing, the chief senses, have found one of the chief satisfactions in the theatre but the spoken stage was limited to three walls and the footlights. The silent picture, on the other hand, was able to travel anywhere, but was still mute. "As the new technique is developed and is perfected, so will the immense possibilities of the talking picture reveal themselves, and it is these possibilities that are, in effect, the strongest guarantee of the permanency of the talking picture.”
