many Of .he sacred rules Of picture
making, and has done many things
that the critics previously termed
impossible. The result Is a film
even more notable than his -Four

play Magazine Gold Medal for 1929.
A powerful. convincing tale Of the
men who go down 10 tn sea Il
Submarines-a picture whose only
feminine character never appears
on the screen, and who is never
ever named, yet who IS the main
spring which motlvates the unique
climax.
The story is the sort OF thing o
Henry would have loved-swift-mov-
ing, human, with a whirlwind end

echo OF one of the unsolved mys-

CAPITOL

With Bernice Claire, Alexander
Gray, Noah Berry and other players
Of prominence in the cast, "Song OF
the Flame" a First National pro-
duction OF q musical play opens at
the Capitol theater Wednesday. This
widely-heralded picture. based on
an operetta OF the same title. Is
OF considerable magnitude. but even
more than that, 1t unfold a dra-
matte love story that will appeal to
any motion picture audience.
Song OF the Flame" has to do
with the love affair OF a girl leader
OF the revolutionists and an aristo-
cratic Polish soldier, who. naturally,
is on the other side Of the polite !
fence.
Bernice Claire. a comparative
newcomer 20 the screen, but we'll
known on the musical comedy stage
supplies a richly dramatic portrayal
OF the girl. whereas Alexander Gray
is at his best in his Interpretation
of the Lovalist officer.
Noah Berry gives another q his
lnimitahle characterizations as a
leader OF the revolution. In the
opinion q this reviewer. he has
never done anything finer on the
screen.
An award OF SPECIAL merit should
be given First National for the
Dains.aking efforts eviderced In the
building up OF true artistic value
in the presentation Of Russian back
grounds. The entire picture carries
an Indefirable air Of genuineness
without which there can he no true
Illusion on the screen.
Although Song OF the Flame
presents a romance against the
chaotic upheaval OF Russion affairs
II is . In no sense, a propaganda
picture.

Compromise Likely
It is not thought the House Dis

to interfere with a compromise.
And the police and firemen
doubtless would rather take what
they can get in the closing days
of the session rather than have
the bill die.
The principal Simmons amend

George A. Wood, president Of the
company, is working up plans now
for a new plant to produce more
gas, cheaper.
Hearing in 10 Days
Natural gas is a possibility, too.
II the proposed gas merger goes
through and the company follows
out its plans for expansion it is
hoped reductions will follow for
the small consumer as well as the
large one.
The proposed new rates win be
passed upon by the Public Utilities
Commission after a public hear
ing, the date of which will be set
within the next 10 days.
The average domestic consumer
who uses 3,4O0 cubic feet of gas
a month will not have his bill
altered. Under the present rate
of 81 per 1000 cubic feet he has
to pay $3.40 and the proposed
new rates work out at the same
figure.
Fixed Charge Included
The new scale, If approved by
the commission will be, 85 cents
per 1000 up to 2,5O0 and rs cents
for all over that, with fixed
meter charge of so cents month

consumed. The family which uses
less than the average amount
