Abstract
This archival essay on early sound cinema in India brings together advertisements for film and film equipment, and various contemporary editorials and essays from film periodicals. It uses these materials to sketch key conflicts and discourses that surrounded the emergence of the talkies, especially around the function of foreign equipment salesmen, agents and technicians, the development of indigenous manufactures, and the shifting connotations of sound in cinema.
