P. G. WODEHOUSE
on
THOTHE LITHPTH.

 

 The objection that many people have to the talking films, that the voices are reproduced with a lisp, is crystallised in this letter from Mr. P. G. Wodehouse, the famous humorist.

To the Editor of The Daily Mail.

Thir,—I am intenthly interethted in theth new Talking Movieth, and I theriouthly think they have a thimply thtupendouth future.

I exthpect you know the chanthes of a young writer in thith line better than I do. Could you tell me if they would buy a thenario from me, the thene thet in the Thouth Theath, and the thtory all about a young man with no roof to hith mouth, who fallth in love with a beautiful girl with the motht awful cold in the head?

There ith altho a villain, a beatht of a fellow with adenoidth, who ith known all through the Thouth Theath ath Thlimy Tham. He geth thwallowed by a thark ath the loverth are thailing into the thunthet in a thloop (which ith a thort of thmall thip).

It all thoundth very thuitable to me.

P. G. Wodehouse.
