The United States army is going in for the “talkies.” The rookies will be trained not only by sergeants and corporals but with the aid of the talking moving picture machine. To inaugurate this plan Capt. Melvin E. Gillette, signal corps, U. S. A., was relieved from duty with the Second corps area headquarters, Governors island, and sent to Hollywood for a course in photography and motion picture work.
