Survey of the Sets and of the Stars at Work
By S. R.Mook
"~Ty OOTS, boots, boots, boots, marching |j up and down again," says Kipling. -"— ' "Sets, sets, sets, sets, weaving in and out of them," says Mook.
Chorus: "There's no release in the war!" Great heavens! The number of sets I see month in and month out, it's a wonder any of them make any lasting impression. And yet I suppose the capacity for remembering beauty is inherent in everyone.
At Warner's
THERE'S that set of "The Dragon Murder Case" this month. It is one of the loveliest I've ever seen. A Southern Colonial house at one end of the stage, red brick facade, with green shutters, white pillars reaching from porch to roof. A walk curves around the front of the house and leads down to a swimming pool. At the end nearest the house the pool is banked with hedges and flower beds. At the far end are huge rocks and boulders and off to one side is a bath house. At the sides of the lawn are more flower beds

and shrubbery, and dotted about the lawn are clumps of bushes.
Suddenly the cameras start grinding and Margaret Lindsay, in a pale, peach-colored, satin evening gown comes out of the house and down the steps. As she descends the steps she pulls out her handkerchief and dabs at her eyes. Just as she reaches the first clump of bushes, Lyle Talbot steps out.
"Oh!" Margaret gasps, drawing back. "You startled me!"
"I'm sorry," Lyle apologizes. He glances over her shoulder towards the house from which she has just come. Evidently he is brooding over something. "Is everything all right— back there?" he asks strangely.
"Why, yes— of course," Margaret assures him. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing," says Lyle somberly. "Just wanted to be near you— to walk down to the pool with you. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course not!" Margaret smiles at him with sympathetic understanding. "Come on!"
"Hurry up, you two," comes in George Meeker's voice from the bath house as they start off. "Get your suits on."
"Gosh!" Lyle says to me when the scene is over. "What a pal you are. You come up for dinner one night, I take you to the Actors' Frolic the next and that's the last I see of you until I call you up and ask you to go somewhere else. Why don't you ever call a guy up? This is Miss Lindsay," he adds.
"Ithink we've met, haven't we?" Margaret smiles, extending her hand.
"Several times," I snap. Nobody likes to get bawled out in front of a girl as attractive as she is. And then, in a crazy desire to show off in front of her, I turn to Lyle: "I'll be back after awhile and take you to lunch!"
No sooner are the words out of my mouth than I regret them. If any of my fellow writers hear of that I'll be run out of town.
I neglected to mention that "The Dragon Murder Case" is a Philo Vance mystery story and those concerned with it are: {Continued on page 66]
