This picture made in France, with
French actors, and directed by one
of the stars of the UFA organiza.
ton, Carl Tn. Dreyer, tells the
story of the last six hours of life
of the heroine whose name is re.
vered both as saint and as patriot.
1t does not reveal the dignitar-
les among her contemporaries in
very pleasant light, but the pic
ture is as accurate a reproduction
of the historic event as can be
created with the aid of long and
painstaking research. 1t is some
what surprising to find how mark
edly similar were the uniforms of
the English troops of those days
to those worn in the World War
particularly the tin hats-and it
seems, though actually it IL not,
an anachronism to find one of the
clerical characters wearing horn
trimmed spectacles.
Mile. Falconetti, In the role Of
Joan, is new to American picture
gOers, but her portrayal is one to
be remembered.
Other features include 1.-THE Fall
Of the House OF Usher" which may
or may not mean something; a
spooky comedy, That Night" in
which Max Davidson struts his
stuff: a microscopic subject, Hid

DIR, FIJI MANCHU
THRILLS AT
COLUMBIA

Warner Glands portrayal of DR..
Flu Manchu is not a great deal UNI
like the character painted by Sax
Rohmer in his story of 1.-THE Mys-
terious DIR. Flu Manchu." IT any
thing the screen characterization
is even more powerful than that
which came from the Rohmer pen,
and that may account for the We
hicle being held over for a second
week at the Columbia.
AS an Oriental phflanthropist
and philosopher at the beginning
of the Boxer rebellion, the famed
DIR. Flu Manchu speedily becomes
ia misanthropist, so far as Occi-
dentals are concerned, when they
unintentionally cause the death OF
his wife and son in .curbing dis
order at Pekin. DR.. Flu declares
for revenge and sets about to get
it by most sinister methods.
An Occidental girl. left in his
care during the disorder becomes
the vehicle in his well-directed
plans to kill all and sundry he
holds responsible for the tragedy
of his own household.
There are enough murders in
the picture to make it interesting
drama, and enough comedy, con-
tributedi by William Austin, to
give It a breath of humor.
The supplements include
Roach comedy, screen snapshots,
Vincent Lopez in Movietone
number, the M.G-M Newsreel. and
the interlude by Claude Burrows
Orchestra.

chronized score and about five
minutes of dialogue to make it
thoroughly up to date. The sound
appendix is tucked on to a. feature
80 per cent silent as to conversa-
tion and arrives too late to make
a long drawn out and thin!y
transparent story among the

a continental flavor. 1t tells of
the formation of an acrobatic act
which arises to eminehce in the
world of amusement only To see
success dissipated and brought
close to ruin by the folly of one
of its youthful members. Direc-
tor Murnan permits US to see how
two boys and two girls, orphans

circus; how they undergo cruelty
and hardships while learning to
