The Cast.

Russian who remembers her from
St. Petersburg, and several similar
situations which never achieve sus-
pense because their ending never
seems important.
AS the glamorous fortune hunter
of worse than dubious morals, Miss
Dietrich gives a purely routine i'm
personation of a gal she has been
in so many earlier movies. The
right ending obviously has come to
her so often in the part. that her
easy confidence that it will again
never WaneS. The result is that
you never are exactly spell-bound.
AS the fussy, equity, prim unmarried
elder son of the Giraud's. Young
is pretty much in the same plight
as Miss Dietrich.
Cabot, in his first leading man
role, looks the part well enough.
That's about all that is necessary.
The one surprising interlude in
The Flame of New Orleans" is that
in which Miss Dietrich sings. After
her adventures with such vocal
items as See What the Boys in the
Darkroom Will Have" it is almost

BY JOHN w. STEPP.


Humphrey Bogart, his customary
leering and arbitrary self, returns to
town at the Metropolitan. But he
waves no gun at the cops, nor does
he run out some unfortunate
"stoolie" who didn't know any better
than to spill everything down at
headquarters. He is the boss man of
a circus, and while he's tough and
almost a conniving cad in The
Wagons Roll at Night" he proves
there's a big streak of white in him
after all
Nick CoSter chats Humphrey IS
proprietor of a decidedly second
class carnival, the sort of road show
that counts most heavily on a lion
tanning act and the enterprise of its
pocket-picking corps for its profits,
And it's all that Nick can do to keep
the show together, until by stroke
of good and unlikely fortune he
picks up a wide-eyed country store
keeper named Matt Varney Eddie
Albert, who proceeds in bold style
to become quite a hand himself IN
the business of tanning large and
ferociouS cats. At this point the
Coster enterprise starts making
money and a name. And a fairly
dramatic movie.
1t appears. though. that Mr.. G.
has kid sister at home whom ne
is quite determined shall have MOTH
ing to do with circuses and the par
ticular strain of humanity which
trods the tanbark. Matt, now The
Great Varney," of course falls IN
love with this fresh and attractive
relative Joan Leslie and despite
grim warnings from brother insists
on seeing her. A crisis is precipltated
one romantic evening. blows are
exchanged and then that Bogart
look floods across the Bogart face.
Il will turn Mr.. Varney loose with
the notorious man-killing Caesar,
mutters Mr.. Coster to his deepest
soul. And furthermore I will re-
move the cartridges from the pistol
he will certainly need in that cage
of disaster. Hah!!"
In the meantime, covered with
hateful smiles, he conVinCeS gulllble
Matt that the Caesar stunt will
stamp him the greatest lion man
of them all; Matt blithely steps into
the cage on the Hateful night and
shortly finds himself in the last
stages of being outbluffed by ber-
Serk brute. At which point sister
Mary. summoned by Trouper Sylvia
Sidney cher typically tragic self as
Flo, also crushy over Matb, rushes
imploringly to Nick, who in turn
rushes into the cage to save the
intrepid lad at the cost of his own
life. This climax grips, incidentally.
Of course, you'll have to forgive
many of "Humph's' previous sins
for such a sacrifice, and you may
| also take note of another handy
performance by that flintlike gen.

sibly do you any serious harm.
"She Knew All the Answers the
name of the film this time, is an
other one of those stories which
indicates that the reputed exist
ence of seven-story plots is an eX-
aggeration by exactly six. EX-
cerpted from the pages of popu-
lar magazine whose formula is
responsible for every ones feeling
that he, too, can write, it tells
about the following people:
l. The chorus girl with an eye
to eligible young DRINKS iii cafe
society.
2. The eligible young drunk in
cafe society.
3. The stern, bespectacled young
man administering the alcohol boy S

away if he gets legally entangled
meaning marries) with the chorus
girl.
4. The chorus girls blond friend
who also knows all the answers.
S. The leering messenger boy who
is finding out all the answers as
fast as he can.
There are others, to be sure, such
as the spinster secretary. the smart
cop, the dumb Office clerk, the lrate
senior partner, etc.
Being almost as familiar as the
people who split your tcothpaste
with you, nothing any one in the
group does ever has the color OF
novelty. The voraclous chlorine
with the CLINT of gold in her eye
gets job in the brokerage office
of the stuffy young administrator
of the play boys estate. Its pur-
pose, naturally, is to convince him
that she is not different from any
other girl merely because she hap
pens to dance for a living. In the
course of the demonstration, there
are some passably funny moments,
all of them coming in precisely the
order they have always come.
Everybody Miss Bennett. Tone,
John Hubbard, Eve Arden, William
Tracy and the others in the cast
are doing as we'll as could be ex-
pected.
It is the consequences portion of
Edwards quiz show that gives 1t It's
bright and different quality. The
questions are more tricky than dlftl-
cult, leaving it to the consequences
to be the more inspired part OF the
program. The most hilarious pun
ishments meted out at the show
caught by this department were
making a large young man don

teurs never worked harder for 81
on any stage and few, apparently,
have provided more amusement for
the audience in the course OF their
efforts.
The most interesting phase of the
r. and C. show turned out to be
demonstration that wives cannot
identify their husbands by view OF
only their noses. Three, submitted
to the consequence of trying to make
the identification in three seconds,
all chose the same nose as belonging
to their husbands. Given a second
trial, and a longer one, only one
managed to accomplish the trick.
Unimportant as it may be to know
that mems noses are a complete
mystery to their wives. it is an anus

Another stage item to compensate

her OLD trlCkS. her OlQ lllCkS OF
course, are those of the trOllop who
looks fascinatingly fragile in black
lace and whose intentions toward
men are never honorable, and vice
versa. They would look better in
less transparent story than that
which Krasna sold to Universal as
just the thing for Marlene.
A Joe Cook sort of narrative
which serves as a prologue to The
Flame of New Orleans indicates
that it is going to be one of those
sly stories about a bride-to-be who
disappeared at the altar. Then the
screen begins to be peopled by peo-
pie like Bruce Cabot. Roland Young
and nothing ever happens to give
you even mild surprise.
The general idea is that of a troll
lop. who poses as a countess, has de-
signs on the elderly equity son of
one of the city's oldest families.
and lands him just at the moment
when she falls truly in love with
lusty. uncouth riyer-boat captain.
The dilemma, of which Young
and Cabot are the two horns, is
only mildly rending to anyone az
the countess background. Her
choice of the older and richer, al
though more feeble male is the
logical one and she makes it. Com
plications, which should be funny
but somehow are not, take the form
of the elder gents suspicious that
she might not be a good girl and
the young mans persistence in inti-
mating that it would not make a
great deal of difference in his case.
The result of the double suit Is
to give Miss Dietrich chance TO
play two roles. Half the time she
is the arch, Soft-spoken phoney
countess, the other half she dons
the guise of a blond tramp whom
she pretepds is half-cousin whose
resemblance is too close for the sake
of her own reputation.
1t involves a lot of quick changes
of costume. some knowing eye-roll-
ing on the part of the countess "
colored maid, some close brushes
with the Giraud familys feeling
that something is amiSs, an encoun-
ter at a big family party with a
