Chic Silber


 Although it was mentioned to be an RKO film
I found this title shot that only credits "Radio Pictures"

 Maybe Eric or Dave can explain it.

According to Wikipedia, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) owned the governing stock interest in RKO during its early years. The company's production and distribution arm was incorporated early in 1929 as Radio Pictures.

Have you ever noticed that Radio pictures used the RCA photo phone sound system which was variable area sound.
Most all other movie companies, Warner, Fox, MGM, Universal used Western electric system which is variable density system.
And besides the two people mentioned on here any good film fan knows all about RKO radio pictures and if not you can google and learn all about it as well as the two sound systems which was optical sound systems.
