TALKING PICTURES By BERNARD BROWN, B.Sc. (Eng.) A popular account of the principles involved in the production of talking films and of the apparatus used for projecting them in the cinema, with chapters on theatre acoustics and installation. The book is profusely illustrated ; numerous exclusive and hitherto unpublished diagrams and photographs are reproduced throughout the text. Readers of this book will obtain a thorough insight into inventions and methods of this popular form of entertainment. Second Edition. Illustrated. 12s. 6d. net. 324 pp. "While it is readily understandable by anyone with a modicum of mechanical or electrical knowledge, it goes sufficiently deeply into the methods and appliances used to be of real value to those engaged in the industry itself." — Model Engineer. "One of the most instructive and complete books on sound films which have so far appeared." — Kinematograph Weekly. "This book is to be thoroughly recommended as an up-todate non-technical resume of progress in making and reproducing talking pictures." — Wireless World. "The clearest, simplest, and most readable treatise on Talking Pictures which has yet appeared." — The Bioscope. "To those operators and technicians who take their jobs seriously — who want to know the ins and outs of it — this book will prove of great use." — The Cinema.
