Most OF the costumes used by act
reses in moving picture Companies
are designed by men Some of them
are of cheapest materials, one man
having turned out seven bonnets OF
elaborate design for less than one
dollar. They were OF cotton goods
trimmed with cheap flowers. In
contrast to this low price is dress
draped with lace wells. valued at
$4,000. and claimed to be over cen
fury old. Other gowns have been
shown in the movies which cost
81, 400 or s1,500.
Effectiveness is the feature most
sought for in movie costumes. Color5
and richness of fabrics can be simi-
lated. The old style dresses. es-
pecialy those with hoops, are not easy
Ito produce now. although one recent
lv used by southern film company
contained over twenty yarGs o. M

The equipment of soldiers with I'M
forms of a by-gone period at a reas-
enable cost is another problem for

eral hundred uniforms are wanted
for a single play. The costumes are
provided by the film companies al
most always, a are also the make
up materials. These last are far
stronger than those used for regular
theatricals and are used in surpris-
ingly large quantities. A,number OF
film companies have special formulas

face he found cool flowing waters.
