5. The Talking Picture By 1929 Hollywood had begun to recover from its first panic and was grinding out sound films as fast as they could be shot. Most of them were pretty bad. The public, still fascinated by the fact that they talked at all, was not yet very critical of what they said. There were, however, good ones. Mary Pick ford, for example, chose wisely in selecting the title role of Helen Hayes' stage success, Coquette, as her first speaking part.
