Biblical Film Authentic.

ONE of the scenes in Moon OF
~ Israel" the romance adapted to
the screen from Sir H., Rider Hag-
CARDS story of the biblical history of
the exodus of the Israelites from
ancient Egypt, takes place in a great
temple dedicated to the chief god of
Egypt, Amon-Ra. In reconstructing
this scene exactly as it would have
taken place in the time of the
Pharaohs, great difficulty was en-
countered in designing the interior of
the temple set.
The actors and company of the
Sacha Corporation, on location in
Egypt filming the picture, were al
ready at work on a set copied from
an Amon-Ra temple at Thebes, when
it was discovered that this ruined
temple had been much altered since
it's original building, and was insult
able in design for a representation of
temple of biblical times.
1t was then necessary, with the help
of prominent Psychologists and plans
in the British and Cairo Museums, to
erect another entire set in keeping
with the requirements of the story. If
this had not been done any archeolo-
gist would have noticed the anachron-
ism in the first set, and much criticism
would have been the result.
The rest of the scenes and settings
recreatfng the atmosphere of old
Egypt were as carefully planned, and
it is said that Moon of Israel" is
more authentic and realistic in it's por.
trayal of the life of Pharaoh's people
than any other motion picture made.

The Moving Picture Album
BY ROBERT e. SHERWOOD.

Mayors salary is reliably reported to
be 100000 a year.
How many members Of this group
(Mr. Mayer included) ever put human.
ity above money? How many of
them ever put anything above money?
If so-what was it?
The Motion Picture Trade Practice
conference was not called together
to discover new ways of serving hu.
manity. It's sole object was to per-
suade humanity to spend more money
for motion pictures, and to divide
that money more equably between
the theater owners, the statesmen and
the studio operatives who are directly
responsible for the production of the
films.
AT the conclusion of DR.. Roses
speech Louis b. Mayer and his
brethren probably applauded vigor
ously. l hope none of them laughed
out loud.
AT the same conference interesting
statistics were divulged concernine
the opportunities for extras in Hol
lywood. Extras" as you undoubt-
ediy know, are those anonymous mer
and women who appear in the moi
scenes and cast envious eyes at the
9CoIS SIHllHe coats ana big cars.
Inc Central Casting Corporation in
hollywood has total registration of
5000 women and girls, all ambitious
to find employment in pictures.
Within the past six months only. one
or these 5000 ladies has averaged
as much as five days work a week.
Eight of them have averaged days
a week and 21 have averaged
days a week. The other $50 have
worked l or days a week-or not
at all.
As the average pay for an extra is
$S.32 a day. it will readily be seen
that even the most successful girl
the ] out of 6,000-has been making
only little more than $40 a week
for the past six months.
Furthermore, 9S per cent Of ali
those who work fairly regularly are
dress extras"-which means that
they have exceptionally expensive and
complete wardrobes of their own for
wear in the high society pictures.
Such is the untold wealth that
awaits the persistent pilgrim to Hol-
lywood-$40 a week. if you happen
to be in 5000 and own a lot of
beautiful clothes.
