HE spark of life seems to have left the “Song of the Flame” in its metamorphosis from stage to screen. In spite of much fine music, some gen- inspiving singing and scenes that have been dyed in the most sumptuous colors, Director Alan Crosland seems to have missed many opportunities to mold this screen version of the operetta into something really w o rt h while. Which is not to say that the film. at the Earle is bad. It isn't t seems merely undistin- guished. The screen has reached a point _where it can afford to do on King of Jazz"—but it can no longer afford to waste a Iot of good energy on a skimmed milk plot and players who act as if they were being propelled by strings. It seems somewhat of a pity that such a pleasant operetta as “Song of the Flame” should not have emerged on the screen with more of its own initiative. Would it have been heresy for instance, to inter- pellate a little humor into {t? Couldn’t the hero have done some- thing besides a little off-key singirg? ‘This is one of those Joan of Arc themes, as those who saw the origi- nal will remember. The “Flame” is none other than a simple peasant girl, Aniuta, who starts the Russian revolution by singing one symbolic song. After she has sung it more or less up and down the country, she is sorry for what she has done, Bernice Claire. because she sees that the song has turned into a “hymn of hate.” Thor- oughly disgusted on seeing the peasants drinking the champagne of the aristocrats, she goes into hiding in her native village and there falls in love with a prince, whose palace is, of course, immediately sacked by the turbulent serfs. He is banished, and she is landed in a Siberian prison for having said she was tired of the whole business, revolution and all. After that the villian tries tc free her by tempting her to go to Paris with him, which she refuses when her prince suddenly appears on the scene. The endi can be guessed without brain Tatigue. Bernice Claire makes an attrac- tive “Flame,” in spite of Mr. Cros- land, and Noah Berry is fine singing a song called “One Little Drink.” The debate whether or not Alexander Gray makes a convincing herc still goes on, this time the “cons” sughtly outweighing the *pros.” Possibly the brightest part of the program is some very fine violin playing by Elias Breeskin during the overture of the Earle Orchestra, and the newsreel and the Lloyd Hamilton comedy are of interest in their own right. E. de 8. M. especial “King of Jazz” Big Hit at the Rialto. TI-I.!: most satisfying of the revues, “King of Jazz,” is being held over a second week at the Rialto, where it appears to be making a big hit. Aided and abetted by Paul Whiteman and his first-string band, this spectacular offering is well ahead of its predecessors. It has not only beauty in color, structure and rhythm, but a nicety in detail which produces what none of the other revues have had—good taste throughout. The genius of John Murray An- derson has made it' what it is. A newcomer to the cinema directorial field, he has in one leap outdistanced his rivals. Taking material that can hardly be sald to be fresh, he has woven a kind of spell over it, plucked out the weeds and made it into one of the brightest dis- plays of apparently original sketches of the day. The members of the cast have been wisely restrained. They do not intrude at regular and monotonous intervals. John Boles, for instance, has only two numbers, “Monterey” and “Song of the Dawn,” both of the best; Laura La Plante appears only in brief skits, one of them be- ing a classic newspaper sketch, and Jessie Lang—of whom one hopes there may be more presently—does a number very briefly. A hopeful asset of the revue fis that its star, Mr. Whiteman, breaks into the spotlight with apparent re- luctance, thus shattering a tradition which newcomers to Hollywood have always clung to before. ‘The revue being long—a bit too long—the program has only time | for Graham McNamee, announcing | the news events in The Evening | Star-Universal Newsreel, and a flor- | ist’s suggestion for Mother's day as | auxiliary entertainment. E.de 8. M. “Hold Everything” Is a Laughing Joy-Tonic. “HOLD EVERYTHING” is an ex- cellent antidote for hay fever, Spring fever or any other kind of fever. It should, in fact, coax laughter out of the most of morose mortals. For W; son, and for one or two being shown for a second week at the Metropolitan Theater. ‘There might be doubts as to the effectiveness of this film were it not for the clowning of Winnie Lightner and Joe E. Brown. These two, in a couple of mauling and fighting scenes, are the mainstays of the former musical comedy production. Beginning with caution, they evoke, after awhile, some of the most ridiculousy amusing bits of “hokum” on record. Mr. Brown's version of “the water-front terrier” facing a pugilist, and trying to break down his morale by making faces at him, should be bound in Russian red and put in the cinema’s library as a comic classic. Let it be said. how- ever, to further the argument now being waged, that most of Brown's moments of merriment have been “swiped” lterally and without hesi- tation from Bert Lahr—and this by Carpentier, whose only reai excuse . for being there is a good tht sequence at the end; a heroine, de- cidedly unimportant, and a lot of \ mt ne to waste. It i:o nevertheless, worth seeing, thanks Mr. Lahr's’ ghost and the added scenes between “the terrier” and his girl, Winnie. e remainder of the bill is de- voted to Graham McNamee’s breezy comments on events of the day in The Evening Star-Universal news- reel and shorter Vitaphone selec- tions.

CHICAGO, May 10 (#).—The board of directors of the National Association of Real Estate Boards yesterday con- demned the padlocking of build! in which there have been violations of the | prohibition law, terming such action “unnecessary and unjust.” Leonard Reaume of Detroit, president, said such [)ndlocklng ‘amounts to a violation of the principle of private B:ogerty.
