The Universal, from the beginning,
however, has always insisted upon
settings which, If not the real thing,
must be constructed with greater
solidity than the sets of the legitimate
stage. AS an instance of this policy
the really remarkable palace scenes
in THE Beautiful Unknown" may be
cited with warranted pride.
When the Victor producers found
that the best New York technical
directors and scene designers could
not reproduce the sheen of marble, it
was decided, without further palaver,
to produce the necessary stone for the
erection of the palace set 1t was no
easy matter to secure enough marble
to build the set, but a hurry order was
sent to the Monolith Works of YER
