SCREEN TEACHES STAGE A LESSON INFLUENCE ON SCENERY The screen has taught the stage many things in recent years, but perhaps the greatest lessons that stage producers hare gathered from the motion picture lots is that of the value of scenery. The screen has had a tre mendous influence on the art of scenery on the stage in the past, and with the advent of the talking pictures that influence has become greater. So says Albert Wenger, famous stage and screen set designer, who was engaged by Paramount to supervise the designing of settings for “Paramount on Parade,” a mammoth multi-star revue in production at Hollywood. Wenger states that the stage technician has brought little to the screen, for, unless he has had motion picture experience, he lacks the essential camera-eye technique for screen work. “Paramount on Parade," probably the largest and most ambitious film Paramount has ever produced, is rapidly nearing completion.
