A sound film is a film with synchronised sound to go with it. The first public exibition of a sound film took place in paris in the 1900. The first commercial screening of movies with fully synchronised sound took place in New York in April 1923. After this, films with synchronised dialogue were known as talking pictures or "talkies". One of the first "talkie" films was The Jazz Singer in 1927.
With talking films growing more popular, the demise of live cinema musicians and orchestras was drawing nearer. This period also saw the development of the first practical magnetic sound recording system, the magnetic wire recorder. They were effective but the sound quality was poor so they were mainly used for voice recording.
