Absolute Realism
Demanded in Film
Monte Carlo Reproduced for "toolish
Wives

Monte Carlo Reproduced for Foolish
Wives"
Probably never before in the history of
moving pictures has a film been made
which entailed such a vast amount of
detail as "Foolish Wives" the super
feature produced under the direction of
Erich Won Stroheim at Universal City,
and which is to be shown at the Colonial
Theatre Thursday and Friday of this
week.
Eighteen volumes devoted to descrip-
ton and illustrations of Monaco and
Monte Carlo were brought by Leroy
Armstrong, the studio librarian, from
| Nice, France, for reference in securing
| the minutest details of the picturesque
principality which the outside world
knows chiefly for its sumptuous gamb-
/ ling casino
The picture called for work on set
representing a suite in the Hotel de Paris
at Monte Carlo, for which the furniture
and decorations were copied from actual
photographs, while the towels, bed
spreads, napkins and other linens were
embroidered with the crest and name of
the hotel. This conformity to detail is
! typical of that observed for the entire
| film.
IN one particular SET Iepiesehtins
view of Monte Carlo from the sea, it was
necessary to have ma ajestic rows of cy-
press trees to partly conceal the preten-
tious structures from the Mediterranean.
To complete this scene eighty cypress
! trees were ordered by Won Strohelm to be
! transpanted from Del Monte 10 Monte
! rey.
i Twenty t ousand square feet of lawn
were transplanted from the front lawn of
/ the ,studio to the back ranch for the
Monte Carlo set to lend general attrac-
tiveness to the scene.
A caravan of 800 people journeyed from
the studio to Monterey at one time, for
the production of some of the most inter-
esting scenes in the whole film. Bridges,
terraces, roads and woods were built up
to make this gigantic scene true to the
| original.

the part all that genins for which he IS
noted. Others in the cast are Edmund

Selling Il church bell by nug-dis--

what Troy (N. y bell company

tive customer called up from Boston,.
He was chairman of committee
appointed to select It bell for churh.

called up to arrange for his commit
tee to visit the bell company's sales
room at Troy. While on the wire,
however, he happened to hear one of
the bells toll, and the telephone trans
mitted the sound so clearly and dis
tinctly that he at once suggested that
instead of making the trip to Troy
the committee select bell of the de-
sired tone by listening to it over the
telephone.
Accordingly, the committee gath
cred at the chairman's office in Bos-
ton at the appointed time, and ac--
cording to arrangement, the bell com
pany at Troy demonstrated the toll
ing of its bells over the long-distance-
telephone. After listening to several
bells the committee selected one with
which they were thoroughly satisfied.
and saved the expense Of a trip.

The Chinook iargon. the prevalent
means of communication in pioneer
days between traders of all nations
and the Indians, is still Mard in the
northwest when old settlers meet in
reunion or at pioneer picnics. The jar
gon is said to date back to the early
part of the Eighteenth century when
English and Spanish navigators adopt
ed certain vowels and consonants to
convey their meaning to the Indians.
The dialect grew in the course of the
years, until finally words were evolved
