THE chief difference between a fold

variety is that a folding bed folds up.
But they ought TO be equipped with
speedometers or bumpers, according
TO Bebe Daniels after an unusual oc-
currence recently at the Paramount
Long Island studio.
Bebe had come to that part In her
new comedy, Lovers in Quarantine, :"
where she locks the doors of the
honeymoon cottage" on the quaran-
tine island, and retires for the night.
The sleeping arrangement in the cot

out of it in alarm. The entire back
of the studio bed had been removed
so that the cameras could shoot
through 1t directly down on to the
bed as it did its stuff.
But something went wrong and
the bed, instead Of folding itself up
decorously, came together with the
speed of man after the sis train.

NCTRANGE as 1t may seem, there
is really more work preparing
for the making of a great picture
than in the actual production of the
film itself" So says Director Raoul
Walsh. Perhaps the best method OF
explaining the manner of approaching
a films production is to take single
picture and follow it through. The
Wanderer,' which we recently COM
pleted. may be chosen as an excellent
example.
"'The Wanderer' was originally a
stage spectacle and played for many
wears, both in this country and
abroad. I had seen the play in New
York and had ideas regarding the
story that were not in the play. L
told these to James T. ODonohoe'
scenario writer, who, working from
the stage script and Incorporating our
Joint ideas, started on the MIN version
of the famous para bic.
I'm the matter of research work
practically the entire life OF the an
cient Seninites had to be reconstruct
ed. Approximately 1000 books, In
many languages, were unearthed ana
pored over before the first line was
written. Clergymen of practically
every denomination were consulted
and several OF the most lSdIIlSo DioAO
students in the United States.
Nine months were spent In re
search and writing of the scenario
alone. When it was completed copies
of 1t were turned over to members or
the research department, to location
men. to the electricians, to the pro-
perty men, to the chief architects and
artists, to the heads of the wardrobe
department and to several other studio
units.
"The research department immediate

New Pet En- Route.

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE is said to
like pets. And If reports be
true, he is going to get the strangest
pet that ever was presented to a
President of the United States.
Having outlived his usefulness in
the play world, Enoch, the pet, is
en- route from Universal City to
Swampscott, Mass, in a specially de-
signed travelling trunk.
Enoch is a large gray goose. At
actual market value of around so
cents a pound, he'd probably bring

roasted, at that. But he carries on
his fat and kissing head a policy of
$4,000. For Enoch is the only goose

Enoch is the large goose that

went in The Goose Woman" He

claimed, obeys the voice of a keeper

gence is almost uncanny and his

A Pediereed Desk.

& HUGE mahogany desk which be
longed to the late John NJ. Flagler
has been obtained by C. C. Burr for
use in forthcoming production.
Aside from its historical interest,
the beauty and size of the desk are
such as to make 1t a rare and valu-
able piece of furniture. 1t is 20 feet
long and 10 feet wide, and is of solid
mahogany throughout. delicately
hand Carved.
According to Mr.. Flagler's butler,
employed in the household for many
years. the desk was built in 1888 1t
was one of his prize possessions. 1t
stands now as reminder of one of
the most interesting business careers
in the country.
For so years Flagler was a business
partner Of John d. Rockefeller and in
1870 with him and Samuel Andrews
formed the Standard Oil Co. The
history Of railroad and industrial de-
yelopment in this country was largely
written at the big mahogany desk.
After Mr.. Flagler's death the desk
was purchased by d. w. Griffith, and
upon it such stars as Lillian and
Dorothy Gish and Richard Barthel-
mess affixed their signatures to star

How a Spectacle Is Made.

Hundreds of thousands of feet of
lumber and gallon after gallon of the
most carefully mixed paints were
used. For the construction of the
city scenes more than 100 carpenters
worked for weeks. In filming the Sc
quence, the entire city was destroyed
in approximately 2 minutes.
Following a conference between
the first cameraman, the chief cleo
trician and myself, the exact amount
of lighting and the exact number of
electricians for each scene were de-
termined. In filming outdoor scenes
Of the destruction of the biblical city,
81 sun arcs were used and hundreds
of other small lights-more than for
any other scene ever filmed at the
Paramount studio. The total amperes
used was more than 1000, and the
total candlepower was around 10000
600.
ITO Howard Greer, fashion creator.
and to Edith Head, his assistant, goes
much of the Credit for the authenticity
of costume. Greer and Mrs. Head
spent three months acquiring informa-
ton concerning the costumes. More
than 1000 garments were made by the
Paramount wardrobe department, the
designs being taken from photographs
of old etchings on the walls of ancient
JombS.
THE carpenter and plaster shops at
the studio were kept busy night ana
day constructing replicas of statues,
old misical instruments, ancient furni-
ture and other objects used. One OF
the most difficult tasks was obtaining
several dozen watermelons and can
telopes for scenes in the picture.
Melons We're not yet in season, and 1t
was necessary to dispatch a man TO
Southern Mexico, where they were
Just ripening.
"A shooting schedule was arranged

duction completed on the exact day
1t was planned.
1.-The casting of the players was a
tremendous task. More than six
months were spent selecting the cor
rect types to take part. Hundreds or
persons were interviewed and scores
of screen tests made before even one
person was cast Even the smallest

tional repute.
From this 1t will be seen that no
one person is responsible for the sue
cess of a motion picture. Hundreds,
sometimes even thousands, are answer
able. 1t is not only the actors ana the
directors who deserve the honor. 1t

Quake at Screen Tests

ness, exactitude-in short, perfection
Of attire and psychological mood
are the cause of extreme uneasiness
when she faces a camera test Miss
Moore is meticulously painstaking-
and it is for this reason, primarily,
that her characters on the screen al
ways ring true. Often it is the angle
of a bow tie or the pitch of a hat that
marks the difference between the sub
lime and the ridiculous in a scene"
The novice selected as representa-
tive of her class, Joyce Thompson,
who has just won her first contract,
said:
II have two distinct sensations
when 1 face the camera for test
I liken the bore of the camera to a
huge cannon. 1t is, of course, trained
on me and may go off any minute and
scatter me promiscuously around the
lot. But, even though I tremble, 1
must be brave. People are looking
on. / simply dare not betray the
white feather. And there Is always
the desperate hope, Even If it does
go off, it may miss me-

always feel like the hero who
stormed the breastworks in the face
of a CALLING sweep Of fire."
