It takes eight or ten men — stalwart men — to move them from one place to another. And the men sweat while doing so. In all there are nearly two hundred electricians employed. While the sets were being built, over a thousand carpenters drew pay checks, while three thousand other artizans labored at their trades. And in a few weeks the structures they have reared will be swept away by torrents released from the three huge tanks, while extra people scramble for the safety of a studio Ararat. One day's payroll amounted to a hundred thousand dollars. Five thousand extras were employed. And so expeditiously were they handled, that when it came time to eat, the mob was fed in fifteen minutes. But it took fifty men six hours to prepare the lunch boxes. Sun-Proof Make-Up P.he night before the call went forth for five thousand, sixty assistant directors were called in conference with Curtiz, Koenig and Zanuck, who wrote the story. The morrow's battle strategies had been mapped out on blue-prints. Each alarum and flourish, every sortie and retreat was planned with perfect precision. Every lieutenant had his group of players. On the lot huge signs marked "Priests and Fanatics," "Soldiers," "Slaves and Virgins," directed each group to the spot where costumes were thrust through little windows. Thence to the dressing-rooms where their nudity was sprayed with stain, supplemented from time to time by dabs with sponges applied by ever-watchful make-up men. Then, led by the assistant in charge, on the set to await the signal. Incidentally, the make-up liquid contains properties to guard against the sun. That morning all roads led to Warners. The streets for miles about were clogged with parked cars. A score of extras were carried from the lot exhausted by the heat. These were cared for in the emergency hospital on the set, as were those others who suffered minor bruises from spear pricks, or the jostling of the mob. Elephants, camels, and those oddlooking beasts called yaks, made the scene still more bizarre. Signals for the various pieces of action were given by the sirens. No lesser sound could have been heard. Twenty-three cameras clicked when Curtiz called "Action !" And seven "still" cameras shot pictures to illustrate such yarns as this. The scene was massed brilliance, like a field of vari-colored poppies. Yet the photography is in black and white. But the picture is on panchromatic film, treated with a special sensitizing emulsion. Thus each color will register its own peculiar shade, lighter or darker than those surrounding it. Experiment proved that the film was especially sensitive to red. Hence red tones predominated. 94 /
