LITTLE THEATER-'L0ves Of
Casanova"

Giovanni Giacomo Casanova, Cheva-
lier de Steingalt, rather fails to reveal
himself as the romantic lover that his
tory (mostly of his own writing) credits
him with being in the version of his
escapades now showing at the Little
Theater under the title of THE Loves
Of Casanova"
It Is singularly unimpressive Vene-
tan gentleman, played by Ivan Mos
joukine, who leaps and sWims and rides
from one fair woman to another. He
is scarcely the scintillant wit we might
expect; the naive vanity SO apparent
in his memoirs, is fairly well indicated
in the subtitles, prepared by Edwin
Justus Mayer, but the character him.
self does not bear out satisfactorily
the implied lightness. He seems too
busy preening and ogling and mincing
about to be as spontaneous as he should
be. He is Suave and sensual, true
enough, but he is slow and studious
in his actions. One thinks instinctively
of the same succession of loves as might
be done for the movies by such DASH
ing gentlemen as Douglas Fairbanks or
John Barrymore, and concludes that
the Americans would make a more at
tractive job of it than this Russian
actor has done.
IhlS is french film. though most or
the cast appears to be Russian and
Italian. III general technique it is
much inferior to the general run of
better Russian. German or American
pictures. Its excellence is splotchy, a
few scenes are beautifully done, the
coloring of some of the costume scenes
is splendid, but, for the most part and
for all its whirlwind inspirations. the
story is slow-moving and hesitant
Some of the ladies who are so happily
victimized by this philandering Casa
nova are, be it said, most fair to gaze
upon.

ants, a feature based on the activities

who possesses sort of 'love or die"
complex, and the other by Barthelmess.
The first part of the picture merely
manufactures color for Barthelmess'
final sentence to prison, and from then
on the story is based on his song
sermon as convict. He composes the
song himself while in prison, and it is
successful enough to be broadcast.
Betty. as the convict's lover, hears
him sing over the radio and vows she
will await his return. When he is re-
leased from prison, he gets the usual
stage offer, but fails miserably. Broken

Limited in physical scope by the fact
that the whole story takes place in
the courtroom, the movie people have
used the only possible device for the
revelation Of important incident, that
of the f1ashback. Even that is used
with remarkable economy and the in
tention of letting the story come from
the mouths of the witnesses has been
respected The latitude allowed the
restless camera, usually fond Of rowing
through as many different scenes as
possible, is consequently not great. The
result is a firmer concentration upon
the main scene, the courtroom, and a
closer attention to the human element
the battle of mind against mind, of
speech against speech. The tenSeness
Is well sustained.
The treatment of the story has been
careful one Monta Bell, the direc-
tor, has made wise use of such detail
as has been selected from the wider
detail of the book itself. The witnesses
are all relevant, their testimony al
ways important. 1t is not, of course,
until the very last that the audience is
acquainted with the identity of the
murderer
Audible dialogue has been skillfully
employed in so far as its appropriate
ness is concerned: it is obvious that it
could not have been used throughout
without slowing up the story. but it is
used effectively at the climax for the
most significant testimony. the sum-
ming up of the case, the judges
charge and the verdict.
The Bellamy Trial is one of the
few instances, perhaps the only m
stance, in which the telling of the
story has been so confined to single
locale, the courtroom. The achieve
ment is an interesting one, much as
sisted by the able characterizations.
Leatrice JOY plays Sue Ives sympa-
thetically; George Barraud is her
loyal husband, and Kenneth Thompson
is the second defendant. Betty Bron-
son appears as an excited journalistic

cleverly into the story of THE Bellamy

When the movies get hold of a situ-

dency to rehash 1t, dress it up In new
frills and pawn 1t again ina new and
usually more wearying picture edition.
The Cohens and the Kellys in At

Hebrew-Gaelic tangles do, to certain
definite lines and then loses itself in
one of the most forrnless films ever
made.
OF course, there are the usual two
families with the usual son and daugh-

ROSE MARBLE FORTRESS

Remarkable Building, Once Strong Defense in Pyrenees, Antiquated

Vlllefranche-d e-de-Conflent, France, March 5. (P-A fortress of rose col ored marble that for centuries guarded an important pass of the Pyrenees, is to be sold by the French government to the highest bidder.
