Mihai, said to a U. S. citizen not a correspondent : "You may quote me with full authority as saying that Mihai is not abnormal in any way. He is neither backward nor precocious. He is not deaf. Sometimes it seems to his mother [Prin-cess Helen] and me that Mihai can be very absent-minded about remembering to do as he is told. But what normal child is not? . . . "Some of the American rotogravures, I believe, have printed pictures of my grandson with the statement that my pet name for him is 'Madcap Mihai' or even...
...when he played in Hugo-wiry and compact, jutting jaw, small eyes, his upper lip too short to cover his strong, uneven front teeth. The New York Giants bid a quarter of a million for him.

...husky sound when heard over the Vitaphone. 2) Dialog. Subtitle writers can be stupid, but writers of dialog that is heard should be clever. 3) Sound and Quiet. The abrupt changes in the middle of a film from mute lips to sound-emitting lips are annoying, unreal. (Perhaps the full-length films can be divided into talking acts and nontalking acts...
