MS President CALVIN COOLIDGE speaking about the revolutionary marriage of sound & motion pictures: "This invention is faster nowadays than ever before. He who keep abreast of it would have no time to do more than note its accomplishments & marvel at them. So let me admit that in helping to make the amazing record which is to be produced of this scene, I have only the most general idea of what it is mechanically & scientifically that is being done. But I am sure that a photofilm of this scene is to be produced, combining a record for both the eye & the ear, a record that may be described as a speaking, moving picture." Great MS Governor of New York AL SMITH (Alfred Smith) singing the Gay 90s song "The Bowery" from "A Trip to Chinatown"; Governor Al Smith gets the crowd to join in, all singing amusedly (natural audio).
