'Talkies' of Old, Noted Art Work
The great stars in the talking
pictures in the years 1928 to 1940
from a gallery so imprestive, and
are so reminiscent of the earlier
years in the film industry, that
a large volume just issued by
DoOer Publications lends itself to
nostalgia and to recollections of
a brilliant era in the movie in-
dustry.
Hardly a 'lathe of prominence is
missing from this gallery of dis-
tinction. Paul Muni is reconstruct-
ed in "Emil Zola and other films.
Sylvia Sidney reappears.
Nearly every name of promi-
nence is in these collected essays
and pictures.
Dover's "The Talkies" contains
articles and illustrations from
Photoplay Magazine. In the selec-
tion are descriptive material of.
movies, photos of the great stars
and a mass of relevant material
gathered by Richard Griffith.
There is an explanatory foreword
by Lawrence J. Quirk.
The greats who often are re-
ferred to for admiration will be
found here. There is, for ex-
ample, the full page portrait of
Edward G. Robinson, in this
large sized volume.
