Picture Industry

A prominent place in the motion picture industry is oecupied by the architectural profession. This is shown in the. special .exhibition q{ jh. ry9t1. H3ro.l{ Miles, Ltli"t, lng Fi tne speclal exnrDltron ot the work ot Harold lvlrles, artlst, whicli is being h'eld until June l5 in the Architects Building Material Exhibit, Fifth and Figueroa streets, Los Angeles. Mr. Miles has been connected with motion oictures for pictures some time and has designed sets for many famous pictures. Sketches of these will be included in the display and will show the amount of detail necessary in this type of work.

The development of this form of entertainment calls for a great variety of skill and talent in many fields, and each studio now has its own drafting room and corps of men whose business it is to design, draw, and supervise construction of the sets used in the pictures produced there. These sets not only include architectural material from all ages and countries, but they cover also a much wider field which includes everything conceivable to human imaginatl0n.
