The attraction is heralded as

where he gets inspiration for the

bia tomorrow afternoon, was
decision that gave the star plenty
to worry about.
Few motion picture, stars work
harder than Mae Murray. She
Is tireless. She designs every
garment she wears in her pic
lures. She spent more than six
weeks preparing her wardrobe for
"MadenFoiselle Midnight" and
that means she was busy every
minute. In the first place she
spent several weeks reading up
on costumes of the eighteenth
century and those of old Mexico.
For days she spent her entire
time in the Mexican quarter of
Los Angeles, seeking shawls, de-
signs and properties for her
clothes. Not entirely satisfied
with what she found, Miss Muir
ray sent representative Of her
company to Mexico City to bring
back such materials as he might
find that would be suitable for
use in the picture. The result is
that in no part of "Mademoiselle
Midnight" can there be the slight
est criticism of the clothes worn
by Miss Murray or any Of the
other members Of the company.
