New Era Seen in Studio if Globe Lights Bear Test
( Special to the Herald)
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28.— First National, Fox, Paramount and many other studios here are concluding a thorough test of the incandescent lighting system with the general report that the old fashioned arc light is gradually being placed in the discard.
Paramount officials state that the studio will attempt to use the bulb lights entirely in its production work. The arc carbons have been used since the very start of picture making.
The lights are of the Mole-Richardson type perfected by the Paramount electrical department after months of research and experiment.
The new Mole-Richardson lights will be used during production of “The Legion of the Condemned,” companion picture to “Wings,” “Honky Tonk,” George Bancroft’s first starring picture, “The Big Game Hunt,” with Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, “The Traveling Salesman,” Richard Dix’s next, and, one of the biggest of all, “Abie’s Irish Rose,” which will be under way within four weeks.
Experiments with the new lights were carried out during production of “The Gay Defender,” with Richard Dix, “Serenade,” with Adolphe Menjou, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” which is still in production, “Get Your Man,” Clara Bow’s newest, and “Two Flaming Youths,” W. C. Fields-Chester Conklin starring comedy.
Panchromatic film is used entirely with the incandescent lights and the Paramount camera department has for months been preparing for the changeover.
