Over 200 original statues conceived
and executed by two young artists, who
have never done any previous work for
the screen. will be seen in various
sequences Of this picture. Peter Ball
busch. Swiss sculptor of 30 years, and
Richard Kallorsz, a 33-year-ol artist
of Polish descent, are the two respon-
sible for this somewhat unusual order
in stage studio sets
Interiors of the Kremlin in 1850 gave
them excellent opportunity for the
rugged statues and primitive ikons
which they were commissioned by their
friend, Won Sternberg. TO execute for
this picture. Posed in suppliant at
titudes. in many cases burdened with
the weight of the cross, emaciated
saints and martyrs create a deeply
religious atmosphere which eXerts an
immediate influence over the German
Princess Sophia-the role portrayed by
Marlene Dietrich-when she arrives at
the royal palace to meet her future
husband, Grand Duke Peter,

proach to the throne and have positions

1t took 30 artists and artisans to
complete the job of statuary. Some of
the saints to be found f1ere-although
you will scarcely recognize them, I am
afraid-are Boris, Theodore, Mary

fortunate in his film debut. He is for

a corking good film, and he is unfor-

RELIEF OFFICIAL
SPEAKS BEFORE
SOCIAL GROUP
Federal Field Agent Says
Poor Aid Work Must
Continue.

Relief work will contuua as
major task so long as the dis
tribution Of returns from industry
remains on the present basis. the
Indiana Conference on Social Work
was told last night at the Claypool
by 7owland Haynes, field rep
of the federal emergency
relief administration
Mr.. Haynes declared that the re-
lief problem has undergone more
changes in the past five years than
in the previous quarter century.
The effects of the war" he said
"as seen in the depression. have
done more to social work than the
war itself did while in progress.
AS one of the great changes, Mr.
Haynes cited increased relief work
by tax supported bodies, but declared
this does not mean that there
should be any leSsening Of aid such
as is given by the Indianapolis Com
munity Fund.
I'VE should not forget" he ex-
planned, that there is still as real
a need for private agencies such as
those supported by Community
Chests in this and other cities as
ever existed. While the local, state
and federal governments are han
ding the great bulk of relief, many
activities for the care of children,
for the cure and prevention of sick
ness and for the Development of
character in the young can not be
financed from public funds"
He declared that relief cost is
likely to become a major part of the
budgets of local and state. and pos
sibly of the federal government. He
pointed out that the latter will have
spent 100000, 900 in twenty months,
and that in many states as much
more has been spent which was
raised by state ann local govern
mentS.
