The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-10-26

The piece is laid in the second
French Empire and is based on
the minor amours of the COM
poser, Jacques Offenbach, and
his ultimate passion for the
Empress Eugene.
From that three line sketch
you might deduce that we have
fairly ponderous biography with
tunes separating the chapters.
Nothing of the sort. The story
is adroitly incidental to the
magnificent musical score, ar
ranged from Offenbach's COM
positions; literally, tale in
melody interpreted by battal-
ion of exquisite singers.
Mountains of work undoubt-
edly went into the selection of
the large chorus. It is exactly
a chorus in the sense that it is
a singing ensemble. There are
fifty or more mixed voices in
this background. The volume
can be imagined but the har-
mony cannot without a visit;
a visit worth anyone's time.
There are twenty-four num-
bers and the reprise number
Remember Me" will most likely
start a heavy run on the Often
bach sheets and records. "He
Writes A Song" was novelty
gem in quartet arrangement.
It is evident that the cream of
Offenbach's compositions have
been selected by the adapter,
Harry B. Smith and it is in
this quality that "The Love
Song" towers nightly above
Blossom Time" for it puts re-
lance for appeal on bulky quail
ity rather than upon one or two
outstanding numbers.
The Shuberts have dressed the
piece on a lavish and colorful>
SCALE and if J: j. Shubert super
vised among other things the
casting, he has demonstrated
anew a peerless showmanship.
Allan Prior, who sings the
role of Offenbach, is difficult to
recall previously, but such a
voice as his would most certain
ly not be forgotten if it had
once before been heard. On the
other hand, where, and again,
where has such an admirably
gifted voice been harboring It
self? Uniquely enough, and
rare. Prior combines distinct
acting grace with his natural
attainments.
Others in the first rank of
vocalists are, Evelyn Herbert
and Charlotte Woodruff. Miss
Woodruff's appeal is decidedly
in the duet scenes, while Miss

ga plot that is familiar enough to
the drama, concerning sap who
finally wins through to the more
or less-mostly less-esteem OF his
fellow human critters.
The present picture also works
up to a very satisfactory climax
blending humor and pathos in a
peculiarly Chaplinesque manner.
Laughter is a rare commodity
in this gray world and we can
do no better than advise the
downhearted and gloomy to take
a dose of Lloyd at the MetropoH-

ton is entering the last half OF

Flower of Night is a tale of
California in the gold rush days.
Where there is murder, there is

when the real American. comes

A fight ensues, her lover is
wounded and the girl drags him

Alice Joyce is the pivotal fig

Chaplin is older. His black
curls are streaked with gray, and
his face, in repose, is sad and
thoughtful. He took his time in
making 1.-The Gold Rush." and the
comedy profits by this leisurely,
systematic process. Chaplin has
brought the art of pantomime to
its highest mark on the screen,
and is never so funny as when he
expresses ideas not by subtitles or
by acrobatics, but by almost i'm
perceptible changes of his fea-
lures, by the movement of his
hands and feet. He is the only
screen comedian we have ever
seen who can change his entire
bearing, investing himself with
new and alien character, by rails
ing his eyebrows and flourishing
his cane.
