The Minister, in turn, after due deliberation, appointed a commission of French experts to carry out the plans of Mr. Halsey and Leonce Perret, the director of the picture. The result was that Miss Swanson, her artists and technical experts, sailed at once for France, and Madame Sans-Gene is beingfilmed in the exact locations and with the actual backgrounds of the original story. Among the scenes is the beautiful Chateau of Fontainebleau with its wonderful horseshoe staircase; Compiegne, the site of so many of Napoleon's triumphs ; Malmaison, the little chateau on the road to St. Germain, which Napoleon built for Josephine and which contains, perhaps, the most choice collection of Napoleonic relics in existence. Even the French army, or such portions of it as may be needed, were placed at the disposal of Paramount officials. French troops clad in the uniforms of one hundred years ago, pass in triumphant review under the Arc de Triomphe, before the Napoleon of the French star, Emile Drain, to celebrate Bastille Day. The museums of France were thrown wide' open that the accessories and costumes of this period might be authentically reproduced. More than three thousand costumes are used in this picture, and they are all copies of originals or of prints found in these museums. Among these is Napoleon's famous Costume du Sucre. which he wore when he was crowned with Josephine at Notre Dame. Snuff-boxes, with the imperial "N" set in jewels, were borrowed ; also the emerald watch fob which the Emperor wears in so many of his paintings and the plumed fan which Empress Marie Louise carried. In the enthusiasm and reverence for Napoleon which animates the entire French nation, France lent a cast of her finest actors and' actresses in the country to support Miss Swanson. From the beginning, the French newspapers spoke of her as Madame Sans-Gene, and practically the entire nation is taking a real and personal interest in the picture: As a result of all this, there has sprung up between the French and American motion-picture worlds, a very marked "Entente Cordiale," which is bound to bring about a higher type of picture for the entire world.

ELLA CARPENTER, NEW ORLEANS. LA. Takes Off 41 lbs. in Exactly 7 Weeks Just think of taking off more than 40 lbs in about as many days! That's exactly what Mrs. Carpenter did — through a method anyone can use! I weighed just 129 today—by the same scale in my bathroom that less than two months ago pointed to 170!" This is what Mrs. Carpenter, a New Orleans lady, wrote Wallace WALLACE i * i about her experience with reducing records. It ought to convince anybody that superfluous flesh is as unnecessary as it is undesirable. Reduced 41 Lbs With Ease I had long wanted a means of reducing, but being a business woman I had no time nor money to waste on fads. I didn't dare deny myself the nourishment an active woman must have. I grew steadily stouter — then something told me to try Wallace records. Somehow, the method sounded sensible; the free demonstration seemed fair; so I started. Fifteen minutes each evening, I took the reducing movements to music. It was mighty interesting; I felt better from the start. But what thrilled me was this : / lost 6H lbs the first week! The second week I lost 8 lbs more. The following week only six more. But in seven weeks I had reduced to 129 — not bad for my 5 ft. 5 inches!" What You Can Lose By the Same Method Mrs. Carpenter states that she made this wonderful reduction solely through Wallace reducing records; that she got thin to music and did nothing else — no Turkish baths, no patent foods or drugs, no punishing diet.
