Now You Can See How Perfect A Synchronized Picture Can Be
No. 598 — Straight from the Shoulder Talk by Carl Laemmlef President of the
Universal Pictures Corporation,
AND NOW "THE MAN WHO LAUGHS" IS READY FOR YOU TO HEAR AS WELL AS TO SEE.
NOW YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE EVER HAD TO REALIZE how much a glorious picture— perfect in itself— can be improved by the addition of cleverly directed sounds.
WITH ALL THE WILD TALK ABOUT SYNCHRONIZATION WHICH HAS HAD THE whole industry standing on its head, it is no wonder that confusion has been worse confounded.
AND NOW OUT OF THE CHAOS OF GUESS-WORK AND GOSSIP, COMES THE SUPREME achievement which will prove without the shadow of a doubt that when even a perfect picture is properly synchronized with all due regard for theatrical effects, it can be made even better than perfect!
NEVER HAS THERE BEEN A MORE CONVINCING DEMONSTRATION OF THE POSSI* bilities of the movietone process than you will get when you SEE AND HEAR "THE MAN WHO LAUGHS".
DURING THE SCENES AT THE FAMOUS SOUTHWARK FAIR, YOU WILL HEAR THE cries of the barkers, the shouts of the happy people, the blowing of their horns and the throbbing of their other merry-making noise-machines.
THROUGHOUT THE SCENES WHEN GWYNPLAINE IS AMUSING HIS AUDIENCE— that audience which rocks with laughter — you will HEAR the gales of laughter and you will hear the tumultuous cries "Gwynplaine! Gwynplaine!"
IN THE MOB SCENES, PANDEMONIUM IS LET LOOSE AND THE MOVIE FAN DOES not live who will fail to get a terrific "kick" from this grand combination of eye and ear entertainment.
THE MUSICAL SCORE IS A GEM IN ITSELF, BRINGING OUT WITH EVEN EXTRA emphasis the fine points of this exquisitely directed picture.
AND ONCE MORE I WANT TO SAY TO THOSE EXHIBITORS WHO HAVE NO SOUND equipment in their theatres just this: — Whether your patrons simply SEE "The Man Who Laughs" or whether they both SEE and HEAR it, they will be entertained and uplifted in spirit as no picture has aroused then\ for a long time.
WHETHER THETRE SILENT OR WHETHER THEY'RE OTHERWISE UNIVERSAL HAS the pictures!
