Enemies of Women" the
Ibanez story so gorgeously pro-
duced for the screen by Cosrlo-,
politan Corporation which is in it's
second week at Moore's Riaito'
Tlieater is notable, among several
reasons, for the quantity and
quality of the feminine pulchri-
tude in the supporting cast More,
than "a hundred of the most fam
Gus professional beauties in New
York participate in the fete
scenes. The time Of the action is
recent-about. 1914 to 1918. III.
The task of designing the cos-
TUNES for these beauties proved
a fascinating one to Mrs. Greti
ThurIow, who creates the gowns,
and costumes for all Cosnaopoli-
tan super-features. "a daughter
of Joseph Urban, the scene artist,
Mrs. Thurlaw displays the same
fine eye. for line, coloD and at
mosphere that characterizes the
creative genius of her father.
Early in the Enemies Of Worn
en-" film there occurs fete given
by the PRINCE Lubmoff Nionsla
Barrymore), of the story. Mrs.
lThurlow costumed the beauties
distinctly for type. For instance.
Helen Lee Worthing is a digltt-
fled, blond Norwegian type. Hsrs
gown is OF pale pink satin under
dress. drapeds gently to the figure
and quite long Over this as
draped an over dress of pink chit
fon. its long sleeves banded in
rich sable fur six inches in width,
its neck line strolling from the
security of a high place on the
left shoulder to utter abandhn-
naent as to the right, leaving that
member utterly lInchiff toned, Mrs.
Thurlow realized the beauty OF
Miss Workings shoulders and
calls attention to them in her de-
sign.
Jean LIE Monte as . Jewish
beauty wears oriental green bro
caded trousers and bodice. over
dropped with a batik dyed veil
that starts from q jeweled crown
and finally gathers volume into
q whimsical trail. Long jeweled
earrings are also worn.
Airline Booth is g Swedish
beauty. Mustard colored velvet
heavily embroidered in silver forms
the draped skirt, with grey lace
employed in the bodice and q
lovely, virginia. cool sleeve that
never even wonders about a mate.
Vivian Vernon is the Spanish girl,
in q luscious pink satin gown,
draped extravagantly up at the
left side, as to skirt. A Spanish
shawl. treated to batik dyeing,
forms part of the gown, and
high comb in the hairdress has
an intriguing long back tassel
hanging from it. Mile. Marietta is
q beauty of the Orient, pink and
silver brocade forming trousers,
the bodice starting upon brief
career from somewhere above a
bare stomach and ending in
shoulder straps. A sheikish tur-
ban, with peacOcks, completes the
costume, its chiffon mileage trail
ing away into a train.
Mrs. Thuriow has cleverly COM
bined the modern mode of low cut
gowns, in the back, long Of skirt,
and transparent for Photographic
effectiveness, with the Russian
and French mood Of the story.
Her work heretofore has been en-
tirely with costume pictures. In
addition to her work for Cosmo-
politan' Corporation. she creates for
the Metropolitan Opera Company.
The That's production, with
Madame Jeritza. was costumed by
Mrs. Thurlow, among many. At
the studios of the Cosmopolitan
company, twelve seamstresses are
kept busy plying the needle along
the satin, chiffon and velvet
