SPORUNGDOPE
OF INTEREST
TO ALL FANS
DETROIT, Feb. 24 (by mail).—On
the slope of a hill 200 yards from the
point where the rivers Rhine and Mo
selle meet just east of Coblenz, Ger
many, is the grave of Lieutenant
Colonel CurtiB G. Redden—“Cap.”
Redden, as he was known to Michigan
men in the days when he made foot
ball history at Ann Arbor.
Communications just received here
describe the simple but impressive
funeral services of Redden, who was
one of the greatest football players
Michigan ever knew. As lieutenant
colonel of the 149th field artillery he
risked his life in battle only to suc
cumb to pneumonia after the army of
occupation began its march into Ger
many.
With an escort of more than 600 en
listed men besides the officers of the
149th and the 67th artillery brigade,
of which the regiment was a part, the
cortege passed through Coblenz with
Redden’s horse, “Sergeant,” taking
the place of honor immediately behind
the gun carriage bearing the flag
draped casket. In line with the cus
tom in military funerals, the dead of
ficer’s boots were in the stirrups with
toes pointing to the rear.
At the grave three volleys were
fired by an infantry squad, and a
I bugler sounded the plaintive notes of
“taps.”
Lieutenant Colonel Redden's home
was in Danville, 111., and it was there
that he first became identified with
the national guard. He served at the
Mexican border and when the national
guard divisions were assembled for
service in France he was among the
first to leave for overseas.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 24 (by mail).
—Fifteen thousand dollars will he the
purse for a match race for pacers if
a challenge issued by Fred Cline, an
Indianapolis horseman, is accepted by
three owners of noted pacers. Cline
is owner of Verlie Patchen, 2:02% and
wants to match his horse against Miss
Harris M., 1:58%; Single G., 1:59%,
and Directum J., 2:01%.
The Indianapolis horseman pro
pose that each owner enter his horse
for $2,500 and that the association
which gets the race put up another
$5,000, thus bringing the rog-se to
$15,000. He suggests that the race be
held in Cleveland during the first
week of the Grand Circuit session,
July 7-11.
MARSHALLTOWN, Ia„ Feb. 24 (by
mail).—Verne Clemons, for several
seasons catcher for the Louisville
American association team, expects to
play baseball again this season. He
was discharged from the navy at New
port, R. I., just fifteen minutes before
naval discharges were discontinued.
It is understood he will play with
Louisville.
TOP "LINER IS
ATTRACTION
FORTONIGHT
When the Aztecs in the * time of
Montezuma decided that women
feather cloaks were t i be the sign of
!he nobility, they did not reckon for
the trouble they were to cause future
generations who wish to immortalize
the' early days of North America on
the never-fading film.
Geraldine Farrar, who so wonder
fully and vividly immortalized Joan of
Arc in the great production of “Joan
the Woman,” was selected by Cecil de
Mille to perpetuate the career of Tez
ca, Montezuma’s daughter, who for
love sold her city to the conquering
Spaniards under Cortes. It is upon
this that Jeanie MacPherson's story
for the Artcraft spectacle, “The
Woman God Forgot,” at the Empress
threater tonight and tomorrow night,
was founded.
For three months before the actual
filming of the picture, Director de
Mille’s research department was at
work in the libraries and museums and
mren {rurorlo/l M D v 1 n Hcolf fr* nhntn.
graph the ruins of the ancient Aztec
palaces.
Exact reproductions of the Aztec
city, the famous throne room of Mon
tezuma, and an exact replica of the
famous pyramid of Teocalli, nearly
200 feet in height, were erected, and
some thousand people employed in
the filming of the scenes, but as they
were mostly Aztecs of the lower
classes, their costumes were easily
supplied. It was when they came to
the costumes of the 250 nobles and
the garments of Montezuma, his
daughter, and his immediate court,
that the costume department was mo
mentarily stumped.
Drawings compiled by the archae
ologists and historians demanded that
cloaks, headdresses, vests, and even
the curtains, rugs and screens, be of
woven feathers. Eight feather robes
were required for Montezuma; six for
Guatemoc, his favorite; four feath
ered gowns were required for the
Aztec emperor and six for his daugh
ter.
A hundred and twenty feathered
cloaks for the nobles and the court—
250 feathered shields, and 400 feath
ered spears and other war imple
ments, were as nonchalantly ordered
by the director as if feathers were
the eastiest things in the world to
obtain. But where to get the feath
ers? Scouts were sent out to all
chicken farms and arrangements
made to secure the plumage of the
dressed chickens.
Feathers are not very heavy, but it
was estimated that at least 400
pounds of cleaned and dyed feathers
would be required to make the fabric
for the cloaks, rugs, screens, etc.
For the head-dresses, pheasant
wings and the more elaborate plum
age were used. An extensive search
was made through every wholesale
millinery and feather supply house on
the coast. As certain feathers were
no longer imported into the United
States, this was no easy task, but
finally they were secured and the huge
work room of the wardrobe depart
ment was filled with workers. Two
eight-hour shifts of forty people each
,1: .1 till* ond lirnrlr r»ll +
the feathered designs, and after the
feathers had been cleand and dyed in
the desired colors, a corps of ten
jewelers were set to work making the
breast-plates, crowns, bracelets and
other jeweled ornaments to be used
by the nobility.
One of the cloaks worn by Raymond
Hatton as the emperor weighs nearly
fifty pounds and is of yellow and blue
feathers, woven into the design. The
head-dress is also of the same com
binatiop of colors and even the shield
at the back of the throne is made of
the same material.
Theodore Kosloff.jthe noted Russian
dancer, who plays the role of Guate
moc, for his marriage to Geraldine
Farrar as Montezuma’s daughter,
wore a great long cloak entirely of
long white feathers. All of Miss Far
rar’s head-dresses WSre creations of
millinery that would make the aver
age feminine heart green with jeal
ousy.
In addition to the feathered cos
tumes, Miss Farrar wore a leopard
skin coat made from nine leopard
skins.
The armor for the Spanish invaders
was another interesting item, as all
of this had to be of substantial steel
to withstand the arrows of the Aztecs
which were fired at them from the
roof of the temple.
Another item in the production of
"The Woman God Forgot" was the
birds. In Montezuma’s daughter’s pri
vate garden there were a thousand
birds, ranging from pheasants and
cockatoos to parrots and paroquets.
To prevent them from escaping a huge
cage had to be constructed, fifty feet
in height and 200 feet in length.
