Use of Glass Bri ngs Woe

Worth It, Se Director Who Likes Mirrors. HOLLYWOOD; Nov. 6 (U. P.).—

| Director Mitchell Leisen’s fondness

for glass in his sets sometimes brings about considerable confusion. When he took a hand in designing the sets for Columbia’s “The Lady Is Willing” he had @ simple solution , whenever temporarily stumped as to what should be done with a bit of wall or ceiling space. “Put in a mirror,” he would say. Or a glass panel. In several instances wood paneling was removed and glass substituted.

Not Gaut dy Enough

The set, representing a 16-room apartment, looked properly gaudy but complications began when the director brought up actors and cameras ‘and began shooting. , Marlene Dietrich and Fred MacMurray were the principals. “ Sometithes there was difficulty telling § where they were, there were so mirrors. And once Leisen’s cameraman unwittingly took a picture of Leisen —in a mirror. A That . called for some rearranging. Cameraman fo the Rescue Then for a time there seemed to be no way of escaping the fact that Miss Dietrich and MacMurray were giving back triple reflections from a paneled mirror. Cameraman Ted Tetzlaff finally solved it by changing the lights and the angle of the mirror. Leisen declared it was worth all

[the trouble to get the effects he

wanted. Some 6f the ‘cthersion“the set ‘hope they complete the scenes before they're. cross-eyed.
