"The Eternal Flame" is q deft
.camera adaptation by Frances Ma

rtion takes place during the gay
sreign Of Louis XVIII Of France
sand the principal characters in the
development Of the story are men,
bers of the court circle permits
the establishment Of the drama
with a series of the most gorgeous
settings ever filmed. The costum-
ing is no less picturesque and beau
tiful. So opulently mounted. it is
not strange that the love story OF
the young wife Of 9 general in the
French army. who sacrificed all
right to her respect, should pro-
gress through a sequence of ire
sistible scenes. or that the power
of the love which Montriveau re-
veals for the duchess. who seem.
ingly never can be his. although
her love matches his own in depth,
should take full command OF the
