~ Central Mexico.
At the time of my visit an excursion from
FL Paso rolled into the city.
They were the delegates of commercial
body of national importance.
The members were accompanied by their
wives, sisters and other female relations.
Nearly all the latter were enveopcd IN
voluminous ''linen dustorS.'
At least three quarters of the female
members of the party wore men $ travelling
cnps prrched high on their heads and held
in place by hat pins and other stab-hook ar
rangcmcnts.
The high keyed voices Of the women were
pitched in n still higher key, because, as
they moved along the streets. they shouted to
each other back and forth from opposite
sidewalks.
They never would have thought of doing
such Il thing nt home.
But they were in strange land. Nobody
knew them. They felt free TO do as they
pleased irrespective Of the feelings or opin-
ions of tn" Mexican residents.

Movie Comedians Aid
Diplomatic Relations,
SAYS Thomas H. Ince

As a diplomatic agent. the motion
picture industry is Americas greatest
ambassador in the opinion of Thomas
H. Ince, the producer, in an interview
given in Los Angeles recently.
Cordial relations between the great
nations of the world in the future will
be decidedly influenced by the trend
of the MOVIES says Ince. who adds
that Charlie Chaplin, viii Rogers.
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford
have accomplished more towards es-
tablishing firm and friendly relations
between America and Europe than po-
litical conferences.
Our greatest unaccredited ambas-
sailors to foreign countries are picture
stars who are winning universal fol-
lowing" says Ince. will Rogers alone
is worth a League of Nations, and !
account as n of the proudest tri-
umphs of the screen the fact that
Charles Chaplin was worshipped by
all the wear soldiers in the trenches.
Hindus. Mohammedans and all the va
ried nations that fought through the
long years in the great war were unit
ed in the brotherhood of his universal
humor.
The motion picture industry caters
to the great world and all that dwell
therein. We must never forget that if
we cease to appeal to a wide humanity
we shall perish, even if our tombs are
million dollar palace theaters. We
have no selected audiences. We must
appeal always to the common human
ity of all peoples and all nations"

Cyclone Reproduced
in "Old Homestead

The unlimited dramatic possibilities
of motion pictures will be illustrated
in The Old Homestead when it is
released by Paramount. In the play
as presented for years by Denman
Thompson spoken reference only could
be made to the cyclone which destroyed
the village of Ganzey. In the picture
the cyclone is reproduced with a spec
~tacular realism in. which it is said
james Cruze. the director, surpasses
anything of the kind ever attempted.
Mr.. Cruze made an effort to retain
all of the qualities of heart interest and
rural atmosphere present in the orig
inal play, but he also put into it the
wanderings of Reuben in the orient
and of his life while his father was
searching for him. Theodore Roberts
will be seen as Uncle Josh. Perley
Sheehan and Frank Woods
adapted the play and the continuity
was by Julien Josephson. Walter
Woods supervised the editing of the
production.

$4,000 Is Cost
of Ball Room Set
in Monte Cristo'

William Fox issues through his
auditing department an interesting
statement in which the figures of the
cost of constructing and photograph
ing the immense ballroom scene in
Monte Cristo," the super special pro
duction for release during the season
of 1929.
The set required a stage 80 feet in
width and a trifle over IT'S feet in
length. 1t was a faithful reproduction
of n of the famous bathrooms of a
noted Versailles palace. The actual
cost of the mechanical construction,
exclusive of tapestries, rugs, candel-
abra, sconces and bric-a-brac generally
was S15,3S0. A great marble and
onyx staircase, leading into the ball
room and down which Monte Cristo
makes his first public appearance in
Paris society, cost S5,120.
Dressed" as studio folk designate
a scene ready for shooting, which in
Guided furniture. painting, curtains,
bronzes and painted murals, the set
represented an actual monetary value
of $780, O0.
Added to this initial cost comes the
costumes of 100 extras CARRIED in
the graceful and beautiful gowns of
the empire period, representing an
outlay of about S21, 600. The latter
were in fabrics of panne velvet, bro
cades and %satins, and expensive furs
played an important part in the trim
mings. Clothes of the men. made of
equally expensive material, added an
other $1,000, for the beaux of Ma
poleon's day were exquisite dandies,
and arrayed themselves in finery equal
to that of the ladies of their social
circle.
Technical and art directors, familiar
with the cost of studio picture sets,
who visited the Monte Cristo" ball
DON were A unit in declaring it the
most beautiful elaboration of empire
effects thus far recorded in the films.
And all this expense, n total of
S1S3 900. was undertaken for a single
scene that runs probably not more
than half a dozen minutes. Other i'm
portant scenes of the picture were
built upon the same prodigal scale.
Women, especially, will revel in the
empire costumes. for each
is an accurate copy of an historic
gown worn by some of Frances many
women, reproduced from
paintings preserved in the republics
