Panther Woman of the Needle Trades, or The Lovely Life of Little Lisa

The film features Morris Carnovsky as Jehovah, who creates the world from a test tube. It presents a narrative that chronicles Elizabeth Hawes's journey from a childhood seamstress to a Parisian haute couture designer, following her education at Vassar. This work captures the essence of the American success story, infused with a sense of irony and commentary on the era's economic realities.

Panther Woman of the Needle Trades is reminiscent of other avant-garde films from the late 1920s, particularly in its art direction and narrative style. The film employs an elliptical approach, weaving together abstract themes and a critique of societal expectations for women in the workforce. Steiner's unique vision and style make this film a notable piece within the avant-garde genre.
