An" > THE SUNDAY From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. Novarro at His Best In Song Drama at Palace. HERE is reason to question the fitness of the title, “Call of the Flesh,” which is at- tached to Ramon Novarro's film at the Palace, for, if ever a stofy swept the emotions without an appreciable touch of scarlet, it is this production, filled with fine act- ing _and pre- senting Novar- ro himself in a series of musi- cal numbers which create a impres- of his as a singer. Most delicate is the plot and most deli- victure. written by Dorothy Farnum with fine dis- crimination, the dialogue was arranged by John Colton, and songs _were com- posed by Herbert Stothart and Clifford Grey. It reaches a climax when the church, in order to save two lives, steps in and releases the girl who has been chosen for its service but has not taken her vows, and ‘who has been separated from her Jove. Around the situation which preceedes this happy solu- tion is woven drama of a high char- acter, with the romantic appeal up- permost _throughout. As a vehicle for Ramon Novarro Ramon Novarro. it is destined to take its place among those which will be remembered as conspicuous in his career. In the range of acting and expression which are made possible for him it is admirably adapted, and the op- portunity that is afforded to test his hly cultivated voice adds materially to the interest in “Call of the Flesh.” One of the high spots is his appearance on the oper- atic stage in Madrid, where, with- out heralding, he wins an audi- ence of which the Queen is & member, but collapses at the close of his solo, because of the agony of separation from his Maria. The latter role is played by Dorothy Jordan with full appreciation of her position as an nocent young woman who. has been attracted by the musical world. One of the gems of the perform- ance is the acting of Renee Adoree, who accomplishes the almost im- possible task of creating a person- ality in Lola, discarded sweetheart of Juan, the hero, a personality which, passing through the range of coquetry to vindictive hate and then to self-sacrificing benevolence, shows no variation in its recognizable qual- ities. Other familiar names which are found in the cast, and which complete the performance are those of Nance O'Neil as Mother Su- perior, Ernest Torrence as Esteban, Mathilde Comont as La Rumarita . and Russell Hopton as Enrique. Eddy, on & brief return, ' with & bang in the with his three kid performers in acrobatics, Geraldine, clever scrobatic dancer; the Crackerjacks in dencing. and tumbling, Muriel heartily recommended. Done ex- quisitely ‘by the master hand of the director, there is nevertheless too little story and too much whimsy to make “Monte Carlo” as effective as other Lubitsch picture art. Those, however, who like to time their movie by the hour, will find this one just a half too lo But it is nice—if one is feeling in a foolish mood. With a background such as “Monte Carlo” offers for any story, the start is auspicious and the characters well chiselled. However, so much laugh- ter and so much—as they used to say -— “la-dee-da,” among sophisti- cated members of the titled class palls after awhile, and one becomes a little weary even before the yarn has begun to unfold. Once plunged into the love-affair that Jack Bu- chanan has with Jeannette Mac- donald, however, brighter turn, for two more in- ratiating lovers would be hard to e. ‘The music in this film is delight- ful. It creeps in thankfully when- ever the story has lost track of itself. And the two principals sing it with whole-hearted abandon, and as if they were enjoying themselves. ‘The theme of this very light, very sophisticated and very impossible fable, coneerns a rich young count who turns himself into a hair-dresser, so that he may be near a lovely, but supposedly impoverished countess. In the m!se of a twentieth century “Beaucalre,” he makes love to her fast and furiously, and she only wakes up to the fact that he isn't a things take a menial when she goes to the opera and sees “Beaucaire” acted before ‘What happens then agine, and those last few minutes are well worth staying the whole hour and a half to see.

SLAR, WASHINGLUN selves, ex fu‘r some nicely timed glimy) . quired considerably more beauty and charm than she had in her former She, with Mr. Bu- chansn, make a nice emotional sparring team, with Miss Macdonald registering knockout. Mr. Lubitsch is still the wizard of camera technique, and the maestro of novel designs and situations. - He has, perhaps, gone too far afield in this picture, having little of impor- tance to stress. But any fllm of his is completely “different.” Whether the public considers this a little too different remains to seen. Per- sonally, it seemed a little foolish—a little short of catching the real spirit of Lubitsch’s charm.

By the Assoclated Press. , France, September 6.— LUNEVILLE, French army transportation experts to- day e disappointment with the Xpressed showing of their motor transport units | in the maneuvers along the German frontier. The experts said some new motor units used so much gasoline they were able to do little besides transporting their own fuel. Some of the new trucks, it was said, ran only two and one-half miles to the gallon, and the new staff cars only three and cne-half miles to the gallon. The army kitchen service broke down and horse-drawn kitchens were hurriedly prepared to supply the troops. The transportation breakdown was considered specially important because, it was said, the French [rontier de- fense plan provides for a mobile army.
