PRINCE EDWARD

“The Little Wild Cat/' the amusing talkie comedy now at the Prince Edward Theatre, is a mad, rollicking mixup of a human wildcat out to capture a man, and a Cinderella sister who is out to race the wildcat to him. Which one succeeds? Bright supporting items are also shown. From tomorrow the Prince Edward will present an entirely new double - feature programme introducing to Auckland the films, “The Jazz Age” and “The Perfect Crime.”

“FLIGHT” NOW AT TIVOLI

Jack Holt and Ralph Graves SListain the main parts of “Flight,” the thrilling talking film which heads the splendid programme at the Tivoli Theatre. Graves is suitably cast as “Lefty Phelps,” an aviator, who with “Panama” Williams (Holt) is ordered to assist in suppressing a minor Nicaraguan rebellion. Some of the most exciting aerial acts yet filmed have been included in the production, which is liberally interspersed with comedy. Several excellent supports will be shown in addition to the main feature.

COLOUR LIGHTING

VARIED LIGHTS PRODUCE TINTS By an exhaustive study of the effect of light upon delicate colours and tints, photogrnnhic technicians have finally discovered a new process of colour photography by which both natural and blended colours may be reproduced accurately. The new method, which involves the use of both are and incandescent light, was used for the first time during the filming of “The Vagabond King,’’ Paramount’s all-colour singing romance, starring Dennis King. While filming “The Vagabond King,” technicians discovered that all outdoor scenes should be photographed under an arc light, because green foliage will not only photograph under this type of light, rich in ultra violet. Interior scenes required incandescent lamps which permit reds to be photographed. The infra-red rays of the incandescents were necessary to film the pink complexions of the feminine artists. If filmed under the arc light, the ladies would look purple: similarly, green trees would appear blue under incandescents.

DOROTHY DALTON BACK AGAIN

Dorothy Dalton, star of Morris Gest’s stage spectacle, “Aphrodite," and many Famous, Players and Thomas Ince films, is returning to Hollywood and motion pictures after five years’ retirement. She left New York for Los Angeles recently and will join her husband, Arthur Hammerstein, in California. “Bride 66,” Air. Hammerstein’s first film production, will bring Miss Dalton back to the screen, which she left after her marriage to Air, Hammerstein in 1924, in Chicago.

“MARRIED IN HOLLYWOOD”

FILM OPERETTA FOR CIVIC With its opening scenes laid in Vienna, intermediate scenes on an ocean liner headed for America and final scenes in the film colony in Hollywood. “Married in Hollywood,” ths first Viennese operetta to come to the talking screen, was produced with a lavishness not surpassed by any prior screen effort. One of the high lights of the production, directed by Marcel Silver, is an opera staged in Vienna. You see and hear an orchestra of 60, directed by the famous concert master, Arthur Kav. On the stage are 60 vocalists and 40 trained dancers. In addition to this there is a cast ot 20 and for this particular scene a replica of the Vienna opera was designed and constructed by William Darling, art director far Fox Movietone. “Alarried in Hollywood.” opening next Saturday at the Civio Theatre, is based on the operetta by Oscar Straus,

SPEECH IN TALKIES

MEN MORE DISTINCT THAN WOMEN A woman's voice is much more difficult to record and reproduce than a man’s. The fundamental pitch of a woman's voice is about one octavo higher than that of a man’s, and due to this fact contains a greater proportion of high-frequency components. The greater number of vibrations increases the difficulties of the microphone in picking up the voice in detail, thus reproducing many women’s voices indistinctly and to a degree, tonelessly. That is the opinion of Albert de Sart, sound engineer who supervised the recording of “Darkened Rooms,” De Sart explains that the lower and more evenly pitched the voice, the greater the accuracy in the recording of the words, inflections and \oice emotion. During the filming of “Darkened Rooms,” Miss Brent was encouraged to speak in her usual low, even voice and, as a result, the reproduction of the star’s lines was almost perfect.

CAST OF “BROADWAY VAGABOND”

Richard Tucker, whose talking picture performances, have met with excellent receptions, recently joined Harry Richman, Joan Bennett, James Gleeson and Lillyan Tashman in the cast of “Broadway Vagabond,” Mr. Richman’s first film. Juliette Compton, Eddie Kane and Wilbur Mack also have been added to the cast of this picture, which is now before the cameras and microphones at the United Artists studio in Hollywood. Mr. Kane will be remembered as the impressario of “Broadway Melody.” Irving Berlin wrote the original story of the Richman picture, and be also composed eight new songs tha.. will be rendered by the erstwhile star of “George White’s Scandals.” Joan Bennett will do some singing, too.
