NEW ENTERTAINMENT
ALL-DIALOGUE PICTURES The all-talking picture has opened up a new field of entertainment different from either the stage or the silent screen. Paramount’s “The Doctor’s Secret” is a good example of the scope of the talking screen. Unlike the stage, the talking picture takes the audience into the very heart of the story. The camera is not limited by three walls and the footlights, but it is able to follow' the players from room to room, as they walk along a street or ride in a bus. All the action of the silent screen has been preserved and the addition of the human voice has given life and vividness to the characters. Other Paramount all-dialogue pictures for early release include “The Canary Murder Case,” with William Powell as the detective; “The Wolf of Wall Street,” starring George Bancroft, and “Interference,” with Clive Brook, Evelyn Brent and Doris Kenyon.
