Il6 THE TALKIES pictures and the sound-track and sound-track and the line of the sprocket holes, a precaution which helps also to prevent the light from getting on to the track edgeways through the film. It is particularly important to see that fogging of this kind does not occur, because the scenes in Talkies are usually much longer than those of silent films, and a re-shoot would be even more expensive than previously. This chapter, too, might be very much longer than it is, but it is time to call a halt, and to pass on to other matters. Next time, however, that you go to a Talkie you will perhaps be forbearing if you hear a "plonk" or two, or see the sound-track dancing a Highland fling up the edge of the screen ; and you will remember something of the troubles and triumphs of one of the most remarkable industries in the world.
