Exhibitors Herald World (Oct-Dec 1929)

October 5, 1929 EX H1BITORS HERALD-WORLD 37 Pa the td Produce World Review with Television Motif (Special to the Herald-World) NEW YORK, Oct. 1.— The eventual perfection and application of television to motion pictures is forecast in a new Pathe feature which will be put into production immediately, which has as its motif the use of television in the home. As the first step in the production a set is being constructed which shows a huge television broadcasting and receiving station, complete in every detail. The picture, which will be an elaborate extravaganza, will be truly an international production in every sense of the word. Scenes such as have made the Follies Bergere in Paris famous; the Moscow Art Theatre world known; night club scenes in Berlin; Oriental dance numbers and other forms of amusement from all corners of the globe, will be duplicated in this novel picture, together with acts and numbers presented by the most popular stage and screen talent available. The picture will be international too, in the sense that special editions will be made in the native tongues of France, Germany, Russia and Spanish speaking countries. This, it is believed, is the first time since the advent of talking pictures that a picture has been produced in the United States aimed at a truly world market. The silent picture was international. The picture with dialog in English only is national. The Pathe innovation points the way to continued popularity of the American picture abroad. The cast has not yet been announced; but to insure the authenticity of the foreign scenes such noted foreign recruits to Hollywood production as Paul Stein, former Viennese stage director; Leo Birinski, the German dramatist; Richard Boleslavsky, stage director who received his training: in the Moscow Art Theatre; Frank Reicher, German stage director and actor; and Josiah Zuro, the impressario, are definitely named to be associated with the production. The picture will precede the Greenwich Village Follies in the production schedule.
