...Never Know Women (Florence Vidor and Lowell Sherman). Ernest Vajda, suave Hungarian creator of stage comedy, has been retained to write a motion picture. He has again indicated that the one talent does not necessarily embrace the other. You Never Know Women is pale and thin. It tells of a Russian vaudeville troupe in the U.
