the wonder of all Los Angeles for the
last two months, was torn down, block
bv block, to illustrate scenes of the
French revolution for the film produc-
ton.
The frowning wall, 125 feet hi2h,
took five weeks to erect on the grounds
Of the Fox plant at Hollywood. 1t
took about five hours to demolish when
those thousand extras put their hands
to it.
The scene began taking about ten in
the morning. 1t was almost four
o'clock before Director Frank Lloyd
would admit that enough of it had been
torn down to give the desired effect Of
realism to the photo-play, Even then,
he kept about fifty of the citizens there
to continue the work, stone by stone.

Bastile was stormed, it required five
days and five nights to complete the
