Advertising Section 107 A Plea for Privacy Continued from page 51 Mr. Brook is even optimistic about the screen beauties with little, piping voices — which is not their own state of mind, I assure you. He thinks they can readily learn how to pitch their tones ; low-pitched speaking voices, of course, come over best. W e discussed the fact that dialogue frequently slows up the action of the film. This was dreadfully true in "The Terror." That, Clive Brook explained, is because each player must speak into an individual microphone, unless they are standing very close together. When one actor finishes his speech, there is a slight pause — sometimes we hear a click — when his microphone is turned off, and the next speaker's is turned on. Otherwise the voices would register on both microphones, on the farther one a split-second later. The result would be either a blurred sound, or perhaps an echo. "Accents," said Mr. Brook, "are giving us a great deal of trouble. I'm not referring to the obvious difficulty with all our foreign players, but merely to the difference in speaking English. For instance, 'Interference' has its locale in England, and the characters are English. Immediately there arose the problem of having American actors sound like Englishmen, so their speech would seem authentic — particularly to British audiences. On the other hand, we have American fans to consider ; too broad an accent might seem to them an affectation. Bill Powell's closing line in the play was, 'Deliver me to Bow Street jail, marked fragile.' That was a problem. In England we say 'frag-ile,' with a long 'i.' Americans say 'fra-gill.' Either way, fans in different countries would protest. We held conferences about it ; we looked the word up in every dictionary. Finally Bill decided just to gulp the last syllable, to swallow it so you weren't sure how he said it. Because they wanted to keep that exit line for him — sometimes when there is a disputed word, we rephrase the sentence to avoid it." All this gives us just a slight idea of the many little problems which come up in making a talking picture, minor things that would never occur to those of us who haven't participated in the making of these films. It would be perfectly all right with me if every one of us suddenly began to talk exactly like Clive Brook, with due regard, of course, for masculine and feminine voices. He does have such a delightful way of speaking — such poise, such charm. Well, as I warned you in the beginning of this story, I always do like Englishmen.
