nishing Of the proper clothes to wear.
The hirsute adornments of the New
York OF half century ago required a
small army Of makeup experts TO ap-
ply them TO the extras and principals
alike before they passed muster with
the technical director. Most of the
costuming troubles centered about
the men. for the women seemed to
have little difficulty In finding period
costumes suitable for the picture.
Director Marcel de Sano, however,
was frankly surprised at the amount
Of work required to fix up a modern
replica of the old-time New York bar.
The very architecture of the saloon Of
that period was difficult TO fix, and
when once fixed 1t was found easier
to reconstruct II in the studio than
find the necessary bar fixtures Of that
time on the West Coast. An instance
of the work involved. however. is seen
in the necessity for acertaining ex-
actly what brands of beer. wine. ETC.,
were popular In New York Of the time
of "Blarney" and then repaint signs
that would be replicas Of the real
thing.
