Contrary to Dance Director Berkeley’s announcement of “no blondes in this number,” a total of 16 platinum haired performers were major troupers when shooting of the scene was started.

It was impossible to get lace material with a coarse enough screen to satisfy the requirements of Busby Berkeley, dance director. So ordinary tablecloths were purchased for the dancing girls, and dyed a striking shade of blue, which gives the nearest photographic effect, when not in color, of red. The “Lady In Red” number is one featuring a song of that title, sung by Winifred Shaw and a chorus of 18 beauties, and with a ballroom feature dance by the DeMarcos.

Dramatic Emotion Must Bubble Says Dolores Del Rio Dolores Del Rio, star of the First National production, “In Caliente,” which comes to the oe eee oe Theatre On saci says that dramatic emotion “cannot be pumped up. It must bubble up.” “The situation — the actual scene — cannot be in the least synthetic or artificial; otherwise, the reaction of emotion is bound to be false,” explained Miss Del Rio. Dieting, going without sleep, or other idiosyncracies for which some players have been noted, have no peace in emotional acting, Miss Del Rio says. “Physical training is good preparation for scenes in which dancing or swimming are required,” she declares. “Emotional scenes are mental — even more than mental, for they deal with the senses. “One’s senses must be highly receptive, to get the ‘feel’ of reality. Then the emotion takes command.” “In Caliente” is First National’s latest big musical spectacle combining romance, comedy and drama. The dance numbers were created by Busby Berkeley with music and lyrics by the songwriting teams of Warren and Dubin and Dixon and Wrubel.
