A number of unusually interest.
ing settings feature Back Street"
the Universal perturbation of Fannie
Hursts well known novel, which
comes to the RKO orpheum Theatre
today, with Irene Dunno and John
Boles in the featured roles.
Especially noteworthy is Ger
man beer garden in Cincinnati in
the days before prohibition, with
patrons consuming great seidels of
foaming fluid at tables under the
trees, and a picturesque German
band footing out robust music for
the dancers. Several sequences were
shot in the famous Busch Gardens.
Another interesting "set" is an
exact reproduction of Rector's IA
nous restaurant in New York. Yet
another is a Cincinnati street of 80
years ago, with an automobile of the
vintage of 1902 forming the center
of much of the action. There also is
view of an old-time horsecar in
operation and other scenes at race
track. A scene of Wall Street twenty
years ago is masterpiece of screen
invention. Later there is sequence
aboard a great ocean liner, after
which the scene of the story is trans
ferred to Paris. John M. Stahl di.
