A “GHOST” VOICE.

'IN SHIRLEY TEMPLE’S FILMS. iJI-ZA‘l‘li UF LITTLE FRENCH GIRL. PARIS. April 19. Shirley Temple’s “ghost." died to-day—Sylvlanne Mancell, a llttle girl of 11, whose voice has replaced that of the American childstar In all Shirley’s films shown In France. Curiously enough Sylvianne. with her curly hair and bright round eyes imro :1 striking rcscmblrlnrc to Shirley 'l‘i~in[-lo——\\'hose lines she had so ofl€n lixmslulvd into Frenrh without having sren her in real life. But letter}; had passed between the two children. One of the laSt Sylvianne l‘f‘t'l.‘l\'(‘ll from Shirley, asked her to "rhrcr up, because you will soon he iwl lor." Now Sylvinnnc has succumbed lo a lingering illness. Exchange for Shirley’s Voice. The exchange of Shirley Temple's mice for a French girl‘s is done by substituting a different sound—track, \\'hirh synchronises with the action of lhe film so that it appears as if Shirley herself is speaking. Ever since she was seven Sylvianne had been employed by leading French film companies to supply the “ghost" for many well—known American stars. Though she lies dead now her voice in nmm‘ cinemas throughout .Franre is speaking to tens of thousands of film Inns in Shirley Temple‘s “Daughter of the Rebels”.
