The costliest and most elaborate set ever constructed for moving picture, is conceded to be the Monte Carlo plaza set built at Universal City, Cal, for the production of Foolish wives, the million dollar photodrama coming to the Langs Theatre, May 2.
 The set is four hundred feet long and almost three hundred feet wide and includes three full-sized buildings, two circular parks, and many yards of concrete sidewalk and oiled road ways. The Hotel de Paris, at the head of the Plaza, is 100 feet long and 65 feet high. At its left is the Casino, 174 feet long and "A feet high, and on the right side of the plaza is the Cafe de Paris, 120 feet long, with its crystal fronted ground floor, and its shining dome, 36 feet in diameter and 50 feet high. Forty-eight plates of glass, twelve by four feet, were xsed for this building.
 The biggest item in the construction of this plaza set, which is in exact reproduction of the actual plaza at Monte Carlo, was lumber, of which 1S0,000 board feet were required, at $75 per thousand. Other items were 10000 square yards of lath, 12,0O0 pounds of plaster, besides hundreds of palms and semi-tropical plants. Labor alone amounted to $6O,O0O. The total cost of this set, one of the several costly ones constructed for Foolish Wives, was $150,0OO.
 Even the Monacan trolley cars were reproduced for this set, actually run ming on regular tracks and carrying passengers.
