Building of the .'enetian canals

involved one of the largest Of recent
construction jobs in Hollywood, it is
said.
Steam shovels first were put to
work on great cleared space in the
midst of the lot and :. great excavation
10 feet deep was made. This had to
be lined with cement to make it hold
water. for which a total of 5000 bags
of cement alone were purchased.
From the foundations in this
mighty tank arose a bizarre collec-
ton of Venetian palaces. spires and
domes and a great deal of research is
said to have gone into the designing
of these sets. Jean Limur. an expert
on the European scene, was called
upon, and the distinctive architecture
of Venice. combining Byzantine with
Gothic and Renaissance, was an
alyzed and reproduced.

Although Honeymoon Hate" is not
a marine picture. it is being filmed
and directed from boats to a greater
extent than most water stories. For
the cameramen there is a barge float

a fast skiff with three oarsmen.
In the average picture several
large sets usually are required. The
