I4 V AV uV* V " V . V If you don't believe that motion picture stars wear more expensive and exclusive costumes than their sis ters of the speaking stage, it might be well for you to go and see D. W. Griffith's magnificent spectacle, "the Fail of Babylon," when it is shown here for the first time at the Colonial Theater all next week. Kyra, the cele brated dancng marvel will dance at each performance. According to actual figures secured from the leading dress experts of New York, the gowns in "The Fall of Babylon" cost more than would be required to build half of the stage productions of to-day. The Princess Beloved, adored of Belshazzar, wears a creation of jewels and ostrich plumes said to have cost $7,000, and at that all of the jewels are imitations. The skirt of the costume is made principally of ostrich lumes, 145 of them to be exact, all dyed by hand in the variegated colors and shades of the Orient. Ropes of exquisite imitation pearls, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, supplemented by wristlets, anklets, necklaces and a headpiece make up the reminder of this eye-arresting garment. Some of the metal work is solid silver; part of it is plated in gold. Over 0.000 jewels were used. In a modern drawing room this gorgeous costume might seem a bit out of place. At any rate it would, by comparison, make every other garment look insigniflcent. But in Belshazzar's palace, a structure of immense dimensons, of ancient world splendors, of prodigal luxuries, it merely seems in keeping with its royal and bizarre surroundngs. Another instance of Mr. Griffith's reproduction of Babylonian splendor is the trailing cape worn by this same Princess Beloved. Sixty yards of chiffon velvet went into the making of it, on which were embroidered solid gold butterflies measuring th£ee feet from wing to wing tip. Only one woman could do this embroidery at one time, and it took this woman five months to complete her task. The total cost of the cape was $1,040. Aside from these two costumes, there are hundreds of others less valuable but equally gorgeous and startling, notably the ones worn by the High Priest of Bel, King Nabonidus, Attarea, favorite of Belshazzar; Cyrus, King of the Persians; faborites of the harem, dancing girls at the Feast of Balshazzar, the charioteers who take part in the sensational chariot races, ladies in waiting and others who figure in the mighty splendor and royal luxury of the bizarre life of the ancients. The fact that Mr. Griffith's production of "The Fall of Babylon" cost close to $2,000,000, may afford some idea of the magnificence that figyxed in the costuming alone. More than 125,000 men, women and children take part in the spectable.

HAHRISBTJRG TEI.EGRAPH PARISIAN STAR WITH GERALDINE FARRAR Madame Rose Dlone, the former Parisian stage star, who was forced to ccme to America on account of the war, will appear in the third Gcraldine Farrar Goldwyn picture this season. She is a striking bru nette and an emotional actress of considerable experience. Her specialty has been tragedy. For the past year she has been living quietly, learning the ways and speech of the United States. She is an admirer of Miss Farrar and Dou-Tellegen, having seen them in Paris many times. Her work in the first Farrar picture this year was exceptionally well done. HAXDI.ING A PARADE CROWD Whether a small town parade is in the nature of a military march or a rose festival or the celebration of a national holiday, the crowds and order of procedure always create a lot of confusion. It's hard to start the ball rolling, to organize the throngs of men and beasts so that they will move on their way. Director Reginald Barker of the Goldwyn btudios had a complicated and motely throng to handle one morning last week. The second Geraldine Farrar production, as yet unnamed, has many of its scenes in Cairo. Some nine hun dred people take part in the worship of the sacred rug known as the Mahmal and they form one of the | most interesting processions which has ever been screened. Every Arab and Hindoo in the vicinity of Dos Angeles was called to the studios to take part in the big scenes. Gerald ine Farrar, as a British peeress, tour ing Egypt with other tourists and army officers, sat in a reviewing stand to watch the gorgeous pro cession. During the rehearsals, before the camera was turned, a runaway horse nearly threw its rider and had to be broken by one of the cowboys before he consented to follow the pa rade in peaceable fashion, and an other horse, drawing the carriage in which Miss Farrar was to ride, be came frightened and overturned the vehicle. Fortunately, the famous star was not seated in it at the time. The camels seemed to take special delight in chasing the peaceful mules, but eventually, by the use of a special corps of assistant directors, Reginald Barker succeeded in handling the enormous gathering of players and In creating one of the most effective spectacles which he has conceived in the silent drama.
