Notes

  • On set decoration:

    'Another feature of "Clara Gibbings" is the very elaborate sets, specially designed by Mr Franklin Hughes, a young American designer of Interior Decoration, at present visiting Australia. He has designed for Paramount PicUires. but work there was comparatively simple compared with the trouble he has been put to acquiring materials necessary for his sets for "Clara Gibbings."

    However, despite the handicap, he has made a good job of it, and the sets are the most complete yet used in Australia. They represent the interior of a fashionable London flat, artistic in every detail; commencing with an entrance bearing a distinctly modern door that leads to a handsomely-pillared circular hall, from which open a dining-room on one side, and a comfortable lounge on the other. They are arranged in correct sequence, and built to normal size, so that the movements of the characters passing from room to room may be nat ural and properly timed.'
