THE YOUNGSTERS who are

are valuable enough to merit
the sympathy and protection of

HOLLYWOOD - "The Pi.

and Gene Kelly, is setting a rec
ord for the props" required for
its staging before the cameras.
There are 5,065 separate and
distinct itemsl
This is more than ever used
before in a single M-G-M film
and M.G-M is noted for dressing
up its big productions to the
very last detail. The head prop.
erty man on the production,
Harry Lazarre, has six assist
ants working with him instead
of the usual one or two.
Months of research and weeks
of shopping through local an
tique stores preceded the start
of the filming of the musical,
and the property department
has been working overtime
gathering the many colorful
items called for in the story,
laid on mythical Caribbean
the 186O's.
Among the most unusual of
these items are: A four-sided
which had to be built at
the studio; a bagpipe which is
twice the size of the actor who
uses it; eighteen old-fashioned
Indian clubs, located in a Water
town, Mass, antique shop and
flown to the studio in rush;
an unusual wax composition
she'll fish, made in New York;
and $50 old-time trunks, found
in 80 different antique shops.
What looked like a serious
problem - finding a lot of gar
den tools of the 1880 era-was
happily solved by a West Los
junk yard which just
happened to have such things.
Incidentally, Research turned up
the fact that the lawn-mower,
such common equipment today,
wasn't even invented until in
the 1860.
The shelves and rooms where
the properties for "The Pirate"
are kept look like dream ba-
zaar out of an ancient story
and all the orders haven't been
filled yet.
