Heal of Spotlights
DEING semi-tropical and having heat on occasion, Hollywood find it a problem in the making of motion pictures. The sound stages, huge halls which resemble a cross between a barn and an airport hangar, must be thoroughly sealed to keep extraneous
noises from the sound recorders, a fact which alone would make them superbly hot. But there is an even worse factor, the high-powered lights which are requisite to indoor photography. Edward Adolphe, in an article in the New Yorjt HeraldTribune, says:— Imagine being surrounded by two dozen or more lights (the number depending on the size of the set), each of which is so intensely glaring that one would as soon look into the noon sun. Consider that these lights are five to 25ft. away from the actors, and getting hotter as the day wears on. despite the fact that they are turned off instantly as each scene is finished. Consider that a production may last from 7 a.m. to midnight, or longer.
