THE FLAG LIEUTENANT
REAL LIVE SCENES A real live British battleship is the scene of most of the action of the film adaptation of the stage melodrama “The Flag Lieutenant,” a Paramount British release picture, which will be seen in New Zealand shortly. The routine on the ship—its the H.M.S. Tiger, by the way—and the dignity that hedges an admiral is splendidly conveyed without ostentation. The army is well represented, too, by the portrait of a colonel in command of troops, who are holding a fort, while the women concerned are two simple straight-forward English women. The friendship of two men form the main theme, the love interest being secondary and both are magnificently handled by Henry Edwards (in the name part) and Fred Raynham. Dorothy Sea combe makes a charming feminine lead.
John Gilbert and Greta Garbo will again appear together in "Love,” Met-ro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s production based on Tolstoi’s novel,, “Anna Karenina.”
