It was a theory that died very hard that the public would not stand for anyone dressed in clothes of another period… I got around this objection by staging what we call a vision. The poor working girl was dreaming of love and reading “Tristan and Isolde”. The scene faded out, and scenes were depicted on the screen that the girl was supposed to be reading… Thus a bit of costume picture was put over on the man who bought the picture for his theater, and there was no protest from the public.
