Sound-Proofing and Acoustic Treatment of RKO Stages

In the production of talking motion pictures, it is generally advisable to depart as little as possible from the technic that has proved so successful in making silent films. We are interested in obtaining moving “talkies” and not the “talkie stills,” which were only too evident in some of the earlier efforts. This effect may be secured partly by the use of sound pick-up devices, which permit an actor to move about the set at will, and partly by having stages and sets of little or no reverberation.
