LITTLE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
LOOp,"

Looping the Loop" UFA's newest
production dealing with circus life, will
be presented this week at the Little
Theater under the auspices of the Film
Arts Guild of Washington. In it the
carnival clown is seen smiling with
genuine sincerity and not through a
maze of tears, for in Looping the Loop
Werner Kraus is the circus clown and
in the end he may be seen taking to his
arms the girl whom he loves and who
he finds is in love with him.
But four persons are in the cast of
this new thriller from Germany. They
are Werner Kraus, no longer a new
name to American f1lmgoers; Jenny
Jugo. last seen here in THE Loves of
Casanova; Warwick Ward and Gina
Names.
The tale reaches a highly dramatic
climax with the failure of stunt per-
formed by a circus daredevil, which in
reality was filmed with great danger to
Ward, who was allotted that role One
of the largest sets ever used for the
filming of a picture in UFA studios was
used for this picture. 1t was used for
the famous circus arena in which most
of the story takes place. European cir
cuseS differ greatly from the American
tent entertainment, in that they are
permanent affairs and not housed I'M
der canvas. There is large circular
arena in the center and circular bal
comics are provided for the spectators.
The performers enter from the side and
from that point on the show is not I'M
like that which children of every age
hope to see each Springtime.
The story was written and directed
by Arthur Robinson, with the aid of
Robert Lehman. and is said to be one
of the best hair-raising thrillers of the
year, presenting some of the best pho
Biography ever to be released from the
German studio.
A Pagliacci may not have an unhappy
ending tagged to his love affairs with
lovely damsels, provided he weaves a
little fairy story in with his own and
forgetS for the moment to tell the whole
truth.

ONE point that Edwin Carewe's pro-
~ duction of "Evangeline" Is said to
emphasize with historical accuracy is
that the Acadians were not deported
from Grand Pre-, by order of the British
crown.
Fearing trouble with the French
sympathizers, the film points out, the
governor general of Nova Scotia de-
ported the Acadians while his sugges-
ton of such an idea was on its way to
England aboard slow sailing ship. A
presumption of authority resulted in
one of the greatest tragedies of Ameri-
can history. Mr.. Carewe, it is claimed,
has faithfully filmed the event.
