TALKING PICTURE MAGAZINE
Vol. I. NOVEMBER, 1929 No. 2
PIONEE
by
Daniel O'M alley
OT all the uncharted plains unravel into sun-baked deserts, perilous fords, heart-breaking, impassable mountain ranges and encounters with hostile redmen. There are other feats which demand equal, if not greater courage and determination, and their frontiers are equally remote. The talking picture producers of this country deserve the warm appreciation of every citizen for their tenacity and fortitude. They have displayed a brand of courage which is not confined to battle or frontier.

Time will prove their contribution to be unsurpassed. The spoken voice has always been superior to any other form of entertainment or persuasion, and now that this is supplemented by visual transmission, we can truly say ''The voice is mightier than the pen."

They have brought to the American public — and indeed the world — a new art, a new entertainment, which is destined to bring happiness — a new happiness — to untold millions. Who can prophesize its ultimate beneficence to the world at large! Who can deny that the peace of the world will be bonded through talking pictures, and distrust and suspicion ironed out to the last rough edge!

To the talking picture producers of this country, then, a toast. Silently, shunning publicity, over-coming all obstacles, you have assumed your burdens, and with true American initiative and efficiency, have brought the talking pictures to its present stage of perfection. You have acquitted yourselves with flying colors, and every right-minded citizen sincerely wishes you the success you have so nobly merited. The day is not far-distant when our country will lead the world in the realm of art, — as in industry, — and the new art that you have created — talking pictures — will play its vital part in that recognition!
