BOX OFFICE RECORDS, will SOAR! FRANK CAPRA Production umbia\ PICTUR.E Noiseless Recording For Fox's 1931 Product (Continued from Page 1) which became known as Fox Movietone, is designed to eliminate ground noises, insure absolute silence on the screen when silence is desired, and promote perfect tone reproduction Under this system light flashes make horizontal lines of varying densities on the sound track of the film. By the refinement of the process the sound track becomes entirely black when no sound is desired and this completely eliminates the cracking and snaoping which often issued from theater screens in the past. It also does away with extraneous noises. This differs from the Western Electric system through which the light lines are admitted to the sound track of the film by means of a light valve which is opened and closed by sound vibrations.
