BRITANNIA
“THE LADY OF THE HAREM” Sixty-two dancers, trained by one of the most noted stage directors in America, were required for some of the scenes in the spectacular Paramount production, “The Lady of the Harem,” which Raoul Walsh directed. These were to do the Eastern dances for some of the big scenes in Caliph’s Palace, and Director Walsh stiplated that they should be properly trained in these intricate steps. “The Lady of the Harem,” which feature o'" Greta Nissen, William Collier, Ernest Torrence, and Louise Fazenda in the cast, is to be seen at the Britannia Theatre to-night- The set in which they dance was that of the throne room of the Palace, and was built at the massive Paramount studio in Hollywood, to be about two hundred feet long. This is one of the biggest sets of its kind to be built for a motion picture.
