MUSIC 295 how many ways, the introduction of sound has already altered and augmented the part played by music in the film auditorium. The change has indeed been second only to that of the introduction of speech. It may be even more deep seated. We can, by following the lines of current developments, see clearly whither they are tending and what goals they are likely to reach. What we cannot foresee is the nature of some novelty still unpredicted, or for that matter perhaps now unpredictable; for in the creation of a definite individual medium for sound pictures we may be sure that music, somehow, will be an ingredient of influence. So strong is this belief that producers are neglecting no opportunity to examine, not only existing facilities, but possibilities of creation, or at least of combination. The very incertitude as to what the outcome will be of course contributes vastly to the romance of the situation. And since our calling has never been able to resist pursuing that sparkling phantom, the future of music in sound is fraught with the most exciting hopes and gropings and expectations!
