If the Garbo is one of your pet weak- nesses, you should certainly amble down to the Columbia and treat yourself to a revel, for the picture belongs to Greta throughout—more so, in fact, than in most of the others.

TER Nights. LITTLE TH “Decameron lof the Princess Alatiel, daughter of the | | Sultan of Argave, to Saladin. The mar- Little Theater, is an engaging work, well directed and cleverly filmed. Based on one of the lesser known stories of the “Decameron,” to be spe- cific. the second tale of the seventh night, the picture concerns the wife- seeking adventures of Saladin, son of the chosen of Allah and greatest knight of the Saracen world. For the benefit of those who might be baited by the name of the picture, only to be disap- pointed, it may be added that the tale, unlike others from the pen of Boccac- cio, is one that might be told anywhere. The picture opens with the betrothal riage is expected to unite the two greatest kingdoms in the East, much to the peril of the Christian world. Saladin goes to seek his bride, and is carried | This fofls the dreams of a mighty em- pire so dear to the fathers of Saladin and the princess, and Saladin's sire, enraged over his son's conduct, fatally stabs him because he will not renounce the shipwrecked girl, only to learn a moment later that she is none other than the princess. Lionel Barrymore, who has starred in so many Hollywood productions, has the role of Saladin.
