better than his "Pat"
in "Billy the Kid,"
Among the large number of ex- AND
tras used to create the typical Lido throngs, such as are found at this exclusive European ne-side resort, are thirty girls, who, like the one in the poem, wre told to "hang Jour clothes on'a hick'ry limb, but don't go near the water."
It was a rigid test of discipline for the girls the day the scene was "shot" for they had to spend the entira day on a warm California bench, but were not permitted to go near the water. Within a few fect of the tempting waves, they had to recline in modish beach costumes and antisfy themselves ns best they could by merely looking"
at the waves.
The anme teat, however, was applied to the cast headed by Mary Brian and. Fredric March. All their scones were made on the
dry sands. To balance the number of "water-proof" players was 21 equal number of actors who were required to spend the entire day playing in and about the water.
The play is based on the Edith Wharton best-selling novel,. "The Children." It was directed by Lothar Mendes, "the 'director of "Illusion" and "Dangerous Curs veg."
