Woman Knows" the screen adapta-
ton Of Edna Ferber's novel, Fanny
Herself" which is to be the princi-
pal attraction at the Strand Theater
all week beginning today.
Just as life unfolds in natural
sequences Of light and darkness,
brightness and gloom, so does the
story of Fanny" develop on the
screen in standings Of simple incl
dents and moments of dramatic
despair.
Tod Browning, who directed the
picture, and Mabel Julienne Scott,
who is the featured player, were
recently discussing the high lights
OF the production.
Miss Scott said: TT seems some
times that there is too much sad
ness in it."
To which Mr.. Browning replied:
Il was afraid there was too much
humor"
Il had so many crying scenes my
eyes were red half the time" con-
tinued Miss Scott
But don't forget all the charac-
ters who provide the comedy" in
terrupted Mr.. Browning. IF there
are not as many laughs as there are
'weeps' in an average family, then
the family is a failure"
And so II was decided that the
pathos and the humor should be
equally divided in NO Woman
Knows" half glad and half sad
but with a punch" in every scene,

Among the many presidents that
have been established by Nazimova
in her elaborate production of
Camille" for Metro, now Is one in
volving the costumes in which she
will appear.
For a French fabric maker was
called into conference to plan a new
material, Partisan looms were called
into service to weave 1t, and Miss
Natacha Rambova designed one
garment that will be seen for a
few minutes only. Because of the
distinctiveness of the material and
design, it is unlikely that it will
ever be worn again.
Fifteen costumes worn during the
different stages of the production
are unique in their originality.
They are typically Nazimova gowns,
each portraying the fascinating
personality of the great Russian
artistic.
For the opera scene, Nazimova
will wear an opera gown of gold
metallic cloth. Fashioned of one
straight piece of the material. it is
wound about the body and caught
over each shoulder with a narrow
strap. One single fastening holds
the gown in place. Two silver
camelias are the only adornments
to the costume.
With this gown is worn a strik-
ing opera cloak of black and silver
cloth, studded with heavy silver
camelias-the garment that requir-
ed the especially designed and
woven material. Unable to pur-
chase the quantity required for one
cloak, 1t was necessary to have
made in a wholesale lot, sufficient
of the rich cloth to make a score
of cloaks.
For a Partisan street scene, Nazi-
nova wears a black velvet costume

of getting a gun or raising a scene
with disastrous results. she cIeverly
outwits the vamp at her own game
and so scorches her by ridicule that
the husband refuses to be yamped
further and returns to his wife with
greater love than before"
The story of this clever domestic
oomedy-drama was written by Clara
Beranger. Frank .Urson directed
and Miss Clayton is supported by a
cast of favorites, headed by T. Roy
Barnes.
