Had to Know Chinese.

CHINESE architecture and Chinese
decorations taxed the knowledge
of the studio when the spectacular
settings for Mr.. w." Lon Chaney's
new picture, were created.
The experts in charge before they
could study Chinese architecture had
to know something of the Chinese re-
ligion. This was necessary because
every detail of Chinese building de-
sign is said to hinge on the religion
and superstitions of it's people.
All architecture in China is on tri-
angular basis, representing the trinity
of the Chinese religion, and the
dragon, symbol of Immortality, reach
ing toward the earth, is the basic prin-
cipal of decoration.
Chinese roofs always curl up at
the eaves--that descending evil spirits
may be caught on these chutes and
turned upward into the air again.
Strange walls. known as spirit walls, .
are built on a certain formula to foil
evil spirits.
William Nigh, who directed the new
production, is said to have spent
weeks in research with the technical
department before the settings were
constructed.

likewise reached a reasonably sane
conclusion that Algy Brooks would
not look upon the garter as the most
desirable of his Sweetheart'S posses

efforts on the part of Mr.. Walrick
to recover it, pursuit that leads the
