Irving Cummings’ latest production, is not n n iy one of the rare pictures shot in the famous hell-hole: it is the first flm to haw among its technical advisers a "desert expert," whose job • has been to take 'he best advantage of Death Valley as a colorful and picturesque background for dramatic action other than that which for-

merly came ribout through the miring and transportation of washing powder. In making the film, the mule team of s he tofrld memory' was replaced by a hard of camels, the borax by an unusually large supply of make-up which had to be carried for the Cummings caravan of eighty-three persons, because the desert melted it off so fast. The wagons were replaced by several trucks which c.wrried the Movietone apparatus, and by a cabin airplane. For the purposes of the picture, Death Valley’ remained the same in its most ecscntial aspect the heat. That an almost be seen ■himmering in the shots of "Behind That Curtain.'

renness. Moreover, the love scenes enacted there in “Behind That Curtain,” being one of the pivotal episodes of the picture, called for some incandescent action. Cummings figured that the calorific background of Death Valley would provide just the right stimulus. So Cummings and his assistants gathered together their large troupe, which included forty Arabs, fiftyfive horses, nine camels and a score of autos, trucks and generators, laid in a supply of handkerchiefs, took a long drink of water, and trundled forth to eat sand for a couple of weeks. The “desert expert." a new’ type for Hollywood, was Lance Baxter. He had spent seventeen years in the Sudan as a district commissioner for the British government, and showed that he knew his sand dunes and their denizens by the authen-

ticity which he gave to the eon- ' struction of desert camps, and the dress, customs, songs, and music of camel drivers and luggage bearers on safari. . satt The new bill at the Indiana today is headed by William Boyd in "The Flying Fool" and Charlie Dans and his assisting artists in “Parisian Life." Other theaters today offer: 1 “Drag." at the Circle: “The Bridge so San Luis Rey,” at the Palace; “Noah's Ark." at the Apollo: “Hole in the Wall.” at the Granada; Bob and Gale Sherwood at the Lyric, and “The Rainbow Man," the Ohio.
