Science was. enlisted hy Director Mamoulian to devise a potion that when mixed during the pi'ogress of the action would have an appearance , that would add to the dramatic ef- ; fects of the scenes. j A mixture was devised and used i hy March in those transformation ! .scenes, which in the process of concoc- ; tion has a startling action and appearance. As the ingredients are i mixed, it huhhles, then fumes, smokes, changes to red and green, then goes totally black and finally hecomes | transparent.
