William Darling. For art director and winner of the Academy award for "Caravan," was given a free hand; and he designed a group of setting which travellers have de- clared to be unbelivably realistic.
Among the mammoth sets are the "Chateau Tokay." almost 200 feet long and 69 feet high.
Darling built a complete village, with central square, rambling inn, tallroad station, church, gendar- merles, stores, streets, a half-mile of railroad track and train of the type used in Central Europe.
Still another huge set construct. ed was that representing a famous restaurant 03 an island in the Danube, which for "ske and ple turesqueness has seldom been equalled.
"Caravan" has as its featured players. Charles Boyer, Continental favourite and Loretta Young with a brilliant supporting cast and 300 extras.
