BURMESE PARTY STAGED IN
PRETENTIOUS FILM
The man who first stated that
there was nothing new under the
sun was probably tlrxs one to add
that there was nothing new to be
staged in the way of elaborate par
ties for embellishing it screen so
ciety drama. 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.”
