STAND-INS.
A stand-in's life is not an easy one. Often considered as another of Hollywood's love of extravagance, the standin is one of me hardest working members of the movie industry. Instead of being securely entrenched in a sinecure, the'stand-in in his or her daily work sheds quite a bit of perspiration. It is the stand-in's, duty to take the star's place under the lights before the actual shooting begins, it the actors themselves were forced to take their places while electricians were .eliminating shadows,.their working efficiency would be cut down and a greater expense would be incurred by the studio. Recently a new record was set at the Walter Wanger studios in regard to the use of stand-ins. In one filming of "52nd Street," nine stand-ins were on Che set at all times. There are nine principals, and each one had his or her stand-in With nine principals and nine stand-ins on the set at brice, the' shooting came periliously close to confusion.
