We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The advent of the "talkies" was in the offing. Warner Brothers had purchased a device for reproducing sound on a wax recording that was synchronized with the film projector. It was called Vitaphone, and it was the beginning of the end of the silent films. In December, Warners released their first experiment with Vitaphone. It was "Don Juan" starring John Barrymore in a silent film with a synchronized musical score. It was an instantaneous success. The following year came Warners' "The Jazz Singer" with Al Tolson singing songs, and Fox launched its own sound process called Movietone. In 1928 Warners released the first all-talking film and by the end of 1929 silent films were a rarity.
