Stahl made into a picture for Uni- versal, starring Claudette Colbert and Warren William, coming to- night for a return engagement at the Capitol. It is a magnificent production. Some notion of the scale on which this filmn has been produced can be gained from the fact that one single setting cost $10,000. Nothing about this set was extraordinary.The cost came about merely to make the set perfect and authentic. Absolute realism was insisted on for this production. In the early sequences, Claudette Colbert oper- ates .a restaurant, specializing in flapjacks. . For the week spent in shooting this sequence, a tank of real pancake batter was mixed, cooked .and eaten every day. The daily cost of the food used in this restaurant, bread, butter, tea, cof- fee, doughnuts, cake and pie was amazing. A replica of the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk was built, extending over 250 feet and fur- nished with shops and booths. An apartment furnished in mod- ernistic style was built for Warren William’s homé and the New York town house which was Miss Col- bert's home was furnished in every room in Adam style from fireplaces to picture moulding. A deep sea fishing expedition was outfitted to bring in a collection of rare fish to stock nine small aquariums in the setting representing Warren Wil- liam’s study.
