American Stage Mechanics
Far in Advance of Europe
So Declares Russian Electrical Expert, Who Is
Astounded by Lighting Effects Found

The mechanics Of the American
stage are far in advance of those

of Russian artistes to present the

Russo played before coming to this
country, introduced innovations in

One of the first things that i'm

the advanced method by which the
electrical equipment is operated.
The control board at the Booth, for
instance, is twice as large as any

Have you heard of the early By
zantine ear rings that men as we'll
as women used to wear? Helen
Blair. in Turn to the Right" at the
President this week. knows all
about them. She even owns a pair
of ear rings especially made from a
photograph of Byzantine ear rings.
They are dull white gold and jade
and have peculiarly shaped pendants
that hang close to the neck of the
wearer. but the most curious thing
about them are weird little silver
pockets set close to the ear.
According to Miss Blair these
sacks were used to hold poison. The
story goes that when wearer
sought to die one removed the ear
ring and drained the poison from
the cap. If death appeared particu-
larly desirable both caps were
drained.
Miss Blair does not carry poison
in her ear rings. She has them
filled with a haunting French per-
fume that gives one the impression
that her blond hair has been per-
fumed.
Incidentally Miss Blair puts great
import upon her ear rings as one of
her aids to acting. She declares
that certain roles demand earbobs.
Her collection includes a handsome
pair of black Jet ear rings that were
the property of Mrs. Robert E. Lee.

15-year-old Wesley Barry, the
freckled and featured player in
Rags to Riches" which opens a

sponsored by Warner Brothers, says
it was the hardest job he ever
tackled While Yves loves to pose
for the cameraman. there are times
when the lure of the bat and ball
and corner lot is even stronger.
Finally, the director hit on the
only feasible solution to the baf-
fiirg problem. At firrt he threatened
to remove Yves from the small list
of screen luminaries. but when this
proved unsuccessful, he plotted a
dark plot that won the day. While
Yves was busy putting on rags for
his part Mr.. Worsley stole out to
the lot and promised the boys that
IL they kept away from the vicinity
Of the studio for another month he
