Gently discussing the high lights OF
the production.
Miss Scott said: cit seems some
times that there is too much sadness
in It,"
To which Mr.. Browning replied:
"I was afraid there was too much
humor."
II had SO many crying scenes my
eyes were red half the time" con-
tinued Miss Scott.
But don't forget all the charact-
ers who provide the comedy" inter
rupted 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 1t 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.
