APPENDIX II STUDIO SETS AVAILABLE FOR STORIES Since every company has hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in magnificent sets, the writer will aid his own cause by keeping these in mind as he prepares his story. Naturally, a story which can make use of several expensive sets already installed can be produced more cheaply than one which calls for wholly new sets. And that scores heavily in favor of the former. Following is a list of the more important sets now existing somewhere in Holl3rwood. Naturally, a complete list would be useless, as there are many sets which have little or no value. The selection is entirely our own; and no apology is made for omitting many. Paramount Famous Lasky Boat hull, 12 feet long with three decks: tramp steamer, passenger steamer, transport steamer decks. Model of the “Constitution,” 12 feet long over all. Model of Light Ship “Relief” at San Francisco, 5 feet long. Model of yacht, 6 feet long. Model of U. S. S. “Cruiser” (French cruiser deck New York), 12 feet over all. Model of U. S. S. “Indiana,” 10 feet over all. Model of army tank, 28 inches long. Model of cruiser “Olympia” (Dewey’s flagship), 5 feet, 4 inches long. Model of sailing ship, 2 feet long. Model of tractor, 2 feet long; and five trailers, 2 feet, 6 inches long. Small steamer passenger deck, 6 feet long. 274
