THE FIGURE TEST
TWO HUNDRED GIRLS Two hundred Hollywood girls submitted to one of the most unusual ‘screen” tests during the filming of “Ten Modern Commandments,” Esther Ralston’s latest comedy of the footlights, produced by Paramount. Dorothy Arzner insisted upon a hand picked chorus for some of the sequences so before the girls were given tests with the camera, they were forced to conform with certain measurements of ankle, calf, thigh, waist and shoulder. Forty passed the “Figure” test and out of this number 20 were finally selected for parts in the production with Esther Ralston.
