Striking Picture Sets.

| THE roof garden set in Watch
Your Wife," the Universal-Jewel
picture, was copied and constructed
from ideas submitted by Sven Gade,
who directed the picture, and is said
to be an exact reproduction of one Of
the most famous roof gardens In
Copenhagen, Denmark, Gade's home
city.
Some idea of the vastness of this
set may be gathered from it's floor
space, which measured $50 by 270
feet, while the back drop used to carry
out the night effect was 70 feet high
and 290 feet long. To photograph this
huge set with it's hundreds of dancers,
it's musicians and tables, the scene
was shot from a distance of over 200
feet.
Another big set is used for the
cabaret scene. The dance floor, made
of hardwood Is 90 by 20 feet and Ia
said to be the largest hardwood dance
floor ever constructed for a motion
picture.
Still another huge set is that show
ing a hotel lobby, where all the bril-
lance and luxury of a modern Ameri-
can hotel are revealed. This set was
70 by 80 feet, with it's pillars rising 80
feet to a handsome ceiling. The cos.
tunes Of the principals and hundreds
of extras are i'm keeping with the
luxury of the various sets and serve
to form cUlorful and brillia mt

constantly irritated by curiosity. An
unusual noise, the happening of some
thing outside, will make every child
want to go to the window to see, and,
being prohibited from that, they can't
concentrate on their lessons. But put

Something on Peggy Shaw.

nous Melody series of one-reel
| films produced by James A. F'itzpat t.
rick and released by Pathe. was only
| IA years old when she and her mother
left Pittsburgh to go to New York and
seek fame.
Peggy had been dancing in enter
tainments in Pittsburgh since she was
4 years old. In New York, she heard,
Gus Edwards was assembling his 1915
Band Box Revue company. Peggy
went to see him and was engaged for
the last Gus Edwards production in
which "Cuddles," now known as Lila
Lee, appeared.
After several months with the Band
Box Revue" in which she had several
da nces, she filled in the time with
cabaret engagements until she sought
Flo Ziegfeld for an engagement in the
Midnight Foiiies.' Then followed two
years, in which Peggy. little more
than a child, danced in both the Follies
and the midnight show on the roof.
1t was Alfred Cheney Johnston, the
photogra pher, who was responsible for
getting Peggy Shaw into pictures. He
sent a number Of her photographs TO
the Fox Film Corporation, and the
result was that she was engaged TO
play a role in Are Parents People -
a picture that did not feature any one.
But Peggys work and her beauty
stood out so prominently that critics
and public acclaimed her its star.
After "A Stage Romance" with Will
liam Farnum, In which she was again
acclaimed, she was a regular member
of the Fox Stock Company, supporting
their big stars.
The charming Miss Shaw was an
ideal selection for the Famous Melody
films as she has one of those cham
eleon like personalities and is of d type
of beauty that assimilates whatever
nationality she attempts. As Peggy
