Advertising Section 1/ ftelNTED LLIAM Wi HE N you see and hear SPEAKEASY at your favorite theatre, you will realize why Fox Movietone all-dialogue talkers are , the most popular of all. The screen adaptation of this stage success has been produced with the perfect realism that only the Fox Movietone process of recording sound on film can create. You see and hear a living spectacle of the greatest metropolis in the world — the breezy talk of Broadway and the sporting world, the frenzied shouts of twenty thousand fightcrazed enthusiasts during a championship fight at the world-famous Madison Square Garden, the voice of the announcer, the bang of the gong, the ringside mi F mo vi More repartee, the beat of gloves on flesh, the tumult during the sensational knockout. You see and hear a thrilling horserace at historic Belmont Park, the roar of subway trains and voices of milling crowds, the click of coins in the turnstiles; you see and hear the hustle and bustle of Times Square and the Grand Central Station — every sound of these eye-filling and ear-thrilling scenes recorded by Fox Movietone at the ACTUAL SCENES. And you see and hear a fast-moving story of New York and its many "rackets", a story packed with exciting action, love, comedy, color and suspense. An unusual cast of well known artists of stage and screen, including Paul Page, Lola Lane, Henry B. Walthall, Helen Ware and Sharon Lynn, masterfully directed by Benjamin Stoloff, make the picturization of this absorbing story by Edward Knoblock and George Rosener superb entertainment. ■k. iiL<s$ than Sound^Life itself 7
