In Touch With the Warden.

DROBABLY no motion picture studio
ever had more distinguished or au-
thoritative technical advice in connection
with a production than First National
III making 40, 900 Years in Sing Sing
Throughout the course of the production
the studio was in almost daily communi-
cation with Warden Lewis E. Lawes,
upon whose celebrated work the picture
IS based. Though never officially hailed
as technical adviser" Warden Lawes
has been such, in fact, from the time
the initial research on 10000 Years
in Sing Sing was commenced, weeks
before the picture went before the
cameras
Although he was $500 miles away
from the stages on which Director
Michael Curtiz and his players were
recording the dramatic sequences OF
the picture, Warden Lawes, in his
prison Offices ON the banks of the Hud-
son River. was virtually in direct touch
with distant Hollywood at all times.
The nature of his duties at Sing Sing
made it impossible for him to absent
himself, even for a flying trip to the
Pacific Coast, to confer with the War
ner production executives on the in
Vulnerable matters that arose in con-
nection with the production.
To overcome this handicap, First Ma
tional sent a director and a camera
crew to Sing Sing. Thousands of feet
Of motion picture film were shot around
every phase of the prison life. In addi-
tion, at least 200 still" pictures were
taken throughout the prison, giving a
complete transcript of every detail of
Sing Sing, from the entrance gate to
the execution chamber, through which
the condemned make their final exit
into the unknown.
