complete houses. bridges, pilings, and
gondolas that occupied, when finished,
three-quarters of the immense studio
A large tank Of galvanized iron ex-
tending the length of the set" held
the water. which was n foot deep.
The gondolas were on wheels to pre-
vent them from fouling on the bottom.
The construction was under the super
vision of George F~itzmaurice, direc-
tor for Miss Ferguson.
"A Society Exile" Is one Of the best
vehicles the talented stage and screen
star has yet had to show her remark
able talent. 1t tells the story of an
American heiress. who has written a
successful move and Is taken by an as
piring aunt to England, where she Is
unjustly accused by a Jealous wife OF
alternating the affections OF her hus-
band.
Driven from England by the scorn
of society, Nora Shard, played by Miss
Ferguson, takes up residence under an
assumed name in Venice, where mat
ters finally adjust themselves happily.
The picture is from the celebrated
stage play, I'VE Can't Be as Bad as All
That" written by Henry Arthur Jones,
the famous British playwright. 1t was
adopted for the screen by Ouida Ber-
