THE Army and the circus have
taught the movies the secret

six story building to an ancient castle
in less than week.
Not only are artificial buildings for
picture purposes erected with such
rspidity. but the practical studio
dwellings and offices as well. And
were this method applied outside of
the movies. 1t would probably revolu-
tionize labor, in that 1t would save
millions Of dollars.
However, the movies are more In
terested in saving time than money,
hence the Standardization of ma.
terials and the scientific placement OF
labor now In use at the Metro-Gold-

The first method was borrowed from
the Army. the latter from the circus
The labor Ia handled much after
the fashion Of circus operations. where
one man lays stakes. the next follows
to drive them, the next lays the can
vas. the next the poles and so on
each with a definite operation care

in a night where unskilled labor could
not erect It in A year.
This plan enables the studio to use
several hundred men where only
