Granting that Cecil De Mille and several of his fellow directors have contrived some un usual effects in filming pretentious entertainments, it remained for Gasnier to plan what is probably the most unusual party ever to be v.s ualized in pictures. Scenic Novelty . When that director started out to nnake his production, “ Mothers-in- Law,” which opened Monday at The Rjlander, he determined to nuke the ball room episode called, for in the story by Frank Dazey and Ag nes Christine Johnson, a distinct novelty. To this end he and his scehic artist, Gordon Pollock, de signed and supervised the building of. a spacious set to serve as the background for a Burmese costume ball. Massive metal pillars and stairways contrast against luxuri ous dark red velvet hangings and the rich coloring and inlaid floor. ■ Hundreds of extras arrayed in stroking. oriental costumes were en gaged for this sequence in the story. Conspicuous anpong the gorgeous gowns of many fantastic designs to be seen on this set is the cloth of gold custome and head-dress worn by Ruth Clifford, the beautiful blond actress whose first work with Director Gasnier was in “Daughter of the Rich.” “Mothers-in-Law” has assembled Smiles Bright Teeth White Breath Sweet \‘ I That winning personality we all admire is the result of care and cleanliness, as well as good health and happiness.
