Colossal’s the Word for Properties in “Cyclops”

Tables 15 feet high, a chair large enough to accommodate an elephant iu comfort, a pair of scissors four l’cet long, an inkwell in which a man could take a bath—these are only a few- of tho massive, amazing props to be seen in "Dr.Cyelops,” Paramount’s lanta«y | thiller, which opens cn {Saturday at tho ‘Meteor Theatre. These strange object* | were required by tho even stranger story, which tells of a scientist who invents a radium ray machine to "shrink” human beings to capsulo creatures one-fifth their normal size. Filmed in Technicolor, "Dr. Cyclops” recounts the terrible experiences of tho humanettes in a world suddenly grown gigantic in proportion. Its cast is headed by Albert Dekkcr (in the title role), Janico Logan and Thomas Coley, who worked under the direction of Ernest Schoedsack, of "King Kong.”
