practically abandoned this year at

many tremendous tasks for the i'll

Another innovation introduced at
the Paramount studio this year is a

This indirect lighting is said to be
the nearest approach to perfect
natural light, taking as a basis a

known as 100 per cent free from

with ugly shadows caused on the face
by the features of the players. such
as noses, eye sockets. protruding eye

Another new lighting arrangement
is long floor light, also an indirect

venting facial shadows.
