ALL-DIALOGUE OR SILENT

MOTION PICTURES OF THE FUTURE The majority of all motion pictures made in the future will be all-dialogue productions, according to Jesse L,. Lasky, vice-president of Paramount Pictures. _ . . “There will always be silent pictures, of course,” Mr. Lasky stated, “and for practically every talking picture produced Paramount

i also makes a com--1 pletely separate silent version. But the screen having found its voice will never again be altogether inarticulate." ‘•The day of the part-talking picture is over," Mr. Lasky continued. “Future pictures will either be c o m p 1 etely silent, except for

synchronised musical accompaniment, or will have dialogue throughout. “Plays with music such as Paramount's 'Close Harmony 1 stitrrivp Charles Rogers. ‘Burlesque and The Cocoanuts' starring the Four Marx Brothers, will be very popular In the "ear future. The screen has never before been able to offer music or musical artists to the public, but now it can offer the pick of the world s genius." SUBURBAN THEATRES The Grey Lynn Cinema is showing “Pride of the Force." . .. At the Parish Hall.
