legion by the angry brother.
Victor Varconi as the Colonel
makes the scene in which he must
sign the death warrant of his
brother, played by Joseph Schild-
kraut, who was convicted by court
martial of treason. The whole dra-
matte struggle between duty to his
country and the army and the love

fined. This is the real theater of the
film and makes for its existance.
While the picture is clearly that

Farrar Is a
Winner in
Concert

Have observed that it is much
easier to arrive at the top OF the
musical ladder than to attempt to
come back to that position.
1t is necessary for Geraldine Far
rar to give definite answer to her
critics as she has decided to come
back in the musical world which
she left some years ago.
I feel that Miss Farrar at the
Murat Sunday afternoon gave a
definite answer to about all the
doubts which have lately been as
ISOLATED with her name.
Today her hair is little gray and
in places very near white. This gives
her a more regal appearance than
in the other days.
