I recently came across this delightful interview with Mr. A published in the October 1908 issue of THEATRE MAGAZINE. I believe this may be the first interview he ever gave to any publication. I say this because up until that time he was a supporting actor and such players rarely had opportunities to be interviewed. He was all of 40 years old at this point and we can truly say that the interview captures him as an energetic young man embarking on what he could only hope was a new phase of his career.
George Arliss “speaks” about his first film, THE DEVIL (1921), and the Future of Motion Pictures
Through magic of voice cloning we can hear Mr. A tell us about his very first film, THE DEVIL, and his thoughts on the future of motion pictures. To produce his voice, we used an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that cloned an actual recording track of Mr. A’s voice. The text of his conversation is likewise authentic. It is taken from direct quotes of a magazine interview he gave to Shadowland magazine that appeared in its January 1921 issue. Your comments are welcome!
