Dress Honors
in New Movie

With twenty elaborate costumes,
Marlene Dietrich is said to be in a
position of carrying off honors for
the most colorful wardrobe for
1884 in the Josef Won Sternberg
production of The Scarlet En-
press" just complete at the
Paramount studios.
Travis Banton, designer and Gre
ator of fashions for many of the
screens most prominent stars, be-
lieves Miss Dietrich's gowns to be
the most beautiful collection of
clothes he has ever designed.
He also feels that the period dealt
with in the picture-the middle
eighteenth century in Russia's court
was productive of the most gor-
geous costumes, both in line and
coloring. of any period in Contin-
entail history.
Il am not a believer, however, in
strict period clothes reproduced in
detail from sketches found in
books" he said.
Il prefer, rather, mentally to
place myself in the position OF a
designer of that period and proceed
to evolve my own designs, inf1u-
enced, of course, by the style trends
known to have existed at the time
Thus, Miss Dietrich's clothes in

Latest Sound Equipment at
Loew|s Palace Ends Delays

1t took two men to move each tow
er, of which there were two, to clear
the stage for a show.
This caused a stage wait which
had to be filled in by some act
working in one or by a silent
trailer, run while the stage was be-
ing cleared.
After the show was over, the
horns had to be replaced and were
seldom in exactly the right place,
thus more or less injuring the prop
er effect.
The next step was to hang the
sound horns on a track so that they
slid back into the wings during the
stage show. However, they still
caused delays, the difficulty in re-
placing the horns in exact position
in order that the sound be perfect
continued.
The picture screen and the sound
horns now at the Palace all fly up
together on one steel cable.
The first set of border lights are
also on the same set of cables and
! u dNCI WlUll GI1C ClCC1ly COI1llllS plE-
cisely into place for the stage show.
The horns are five feet high and
nine feet long, but take up only two
feet of stage depth, making that
much more room for hangings.
The unit weighs about 2,700
pounds
AS the screen and horns are to-
gether, there is no haphazard plac-
ing.
Also when stage shows are played
there is no wait, because at the end
of the picture. the curtains are
closed in and the picture screen and
the horns are taken up into the
flies and the stage is already set for
the beginning of the show, so all
there is to do is to open the curtains
and start the show.
