    Rudolf Pfenninger in his laboratory with hand-drawn sound strips, 1932. Source: Pfenninger Archive, Munich. 32 “Tones from out of Nowhere”: Rudolph Pfenninger and the Archaeology of Synthetic Sound THOMAS Y. LEVIN 4.014 The gramophone record, the musical idea, the written notes, the sound waves, all stand in the same internal representational relationship to one another that obtains between language and the world. —Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logico-philosophicus (1921) “All-of-a-tremble”: The Birth of Robotic Speech On February 16, 1931, the New York Times ran a story on a curious development that had just taken place in England: “Synthetic Speech Demonstrated in London: Engineer Creates Voice which Never Existed” read the headline.1 The day before, so the article began, “a robot voice spoke for the first time in a darkened room in London . uttering words which had never passed human lips.” According to the accounts of this event in numerous European papers, a young British physi- cist named E.A. Humphries was working as a sound engineer for the British International Film Co. when the studio ran into a serious problem. A synchro- nized sound film (then still quite a novelty) starring Constance Bennett had just been completed in which the name of a rather unsavory criminal character hap- pened to be the same as that of a certain aristocratic British family. This noble clan was either unable or unwilling to countenance the irreducible—even if seemingly paradoxical—polysemy of the proper name (so powerful, perhaps, was the new experience of hearing it actually uttered in the cinema) and threat- ened a libel suit if “their” name was not excised.

  • Director George Cukor Honored Five-Week-21-Film
    The Museum of Modern Art ^^ ^^ I 11%^ iwiM^^^Miii VI ivawMX^l •• f-mi % ^^^ IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart DIRECTOR GEORGE CUKOR HONORED FIVE-WEEK-21-FILM RETROSPECTIVE A Five-Week Tribute to George Cukor, including 22 films by the American director, will commence on August 27, 1970 at The Museum of Modern Art. Starting with THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BROADWAY, the 1930 movie based on the famous Barrymore clan, with Ina Claire and Fredric March, the Cukor show covers more than three decades in the director's career. In the thirties, stars such as Gary Grant were familiar fixtures in his pictures; the late forties and fifties were marked by the film-maker's frequent collaboration with screenwriters Garson Kanin and his actress wife Ruth Gordon, as well as his pictures co- starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The final film of the series, THE CHAPMAN REPORT, was made in 1963. The retrospective was assembled by Gary Carey, former Assistant Curator of the Museum's Department of Film and author of a forthcoming book entitled Cukor & Co., to be pub­ lished this fall by the Museum. According to Carey, Cukor was most sympathetic to comic material which had "a strong undercurrent of humanity." Cukor emphasized the roles of his writing collaborators, as well as his actors, because he was primarily influenced by the theater, which he entered in Chicago in 1918. He was a stage manager when stars such as Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan, Yvette Guilbert, Alia Nazimova, and Elsie Ferguson reigned.
