TALK.'Nd MOVI K S
Lincoln delivering his immortal Address at Gettysburg, or of Roosevelt as he stood before the Hippodrome audience at his last public appearance delivering a message to his countrymen, the inspiration of which has already been, how sadly, lost. Could we now see and hear Edwin Booth as Hamlet; Irving as Richelieu ; Mary Anderson as Juliet — for real comparison, not based on treacherous and fading memories, with our present day "great" tragedians ! None can deny the need to our present thoughtless generation of frequently seeing and hearing in their exalted moments our really great men reproduced from time to time for the benefit and uplift and inspiration of us all. That these great moments in the lives of great men shall not be forever lost to our descendants, is one of the debts which those who come after us shall owe to the film which records both the voice and the visage of the nation's leaders.
"MOVIETONE"
The Fox-Case Corporation is responsible for the introduction of the "MOVIETONE". The system was developed by Theodore W. Case in the Case Research Laboratories in Auburn, N. Y.
Movietone probably had its inception back 1910, when Mr. Theodore W. Case, then student of Yale University considered photographing sound and reproducing it by means of selenium cells. These experiments were not carried to a practical point due to the fact that selenium was not satisfactory as a reproducing cell, and also due to the fact that amplifiers and loud speakers as we now know them were unknown.
