station was only 80 cents, where

THEATRES
At the Strand

Several scenes in the Alice Joyce
production THE Scarab Ring" at
the Strand today and tomorrow are
laid in New York's world famous
city prison, the Tombs. Naturally
it was impossible to take actual
scenes in the prison, but the next
best thing was done. Through the
kindness of one of the Nwardens,
drawings were made of the cells and
corridors, and every detail noted,
exact measurements taken and even
So mples of the color of the walls
and decorations secured.
After about two days work in
| measuring and sketching the inte-
| rior of the Tombs, a facsimile was
commenced at Vitagraph's Brooklyn
studio. In less than two weeks en-
act duplicates of the cell, corridor
and an office in the Tombs were
erected in the Brooklyn studio. II
is one of the few incidents Where a
film company has gone to n ex-
pense and detail to produce the ex-
act atmosphere.
The same procedure was followed
| for the court room scenes through
the kindness of one of the judges
Each detail of a New York criminal
court room was reproduced in the
| Vitagraph studio and to get atmos'
phere, the actor who played the
| Judge made up in exact likeness oil
a we'll known New York judge.
Nearly all the scenes in "Th
Scarab Ring are laid in elaborate

are short ones, but important to the
