Footnotes

It appears that the costume seen on screen was modified from the design in this sketch, the headpiece is not worn but instead has been modified into large hand-held fans. Natacha Rambova took inspiration for the costume and set designs for the film from Aubrey Beardsley, which is prevalent throughout.
