By JAMES THRASHER Give us a flourish of trumpets, maestro! For the Indiana State Symphony Society is bringing “Carnival in Flanders” to Keith's today for a three-day engagement. And “Carnival in Flanders” already has
won its place in screendom’s hall of fame as one of the grandest comedies ever filmed. The local showing is for the benefit of the Indianpolis Symphony Orchestra Fund, if any added inducement is needed, and there will be a special musical program for tonight's “gala” showing at 8:15 o'clock. Mrs. Herbert M. Woollen, in charge, has secured the services of Mrs. Richard W. Sharpless, soprano; Mrs. William J. Stark. pianist. and a quintet composed of William Greuing and Elmer Kruse, violinists; Samuel Kaplan, violist; Virginia Leyenberger, cellist, and’ Earl Gordon, pianist, all of wham haye donated their talents for the occasion. Popular prices will prevail except for the special performance tonight, when a slightly higher charge will be made. A short travelogue will be included in all showings.
No Loss of Meaning
‘Now for the picture itself. First of all I should like to dispel any fear lurking in the minds of patrons who shy away from foreign-lan-guage pictures. “Carnival in Flanders” has universal appeal. One
could grasp the plot easily without the aid of English subtitles. But these titles have been superimposed at the bottom of the film so artfully that there is no loss of meanmg nor interruption of action. After a few minutes you will forget that you are listening to dialoguc In a strange tongue. : “Carnival in Flanders” needs no added words of praise from this reviewer. The National Board of Review voted it the best film of the year. The New York critics gave it the palm as the year’s best foreign film. The public as well as the press
had a 14 weeks’ run in New York and has played return engagements in many cities. : For all of the Américan picture industry’s merited pride in . its achiveraents, it never could nave produced “Carnival in Flanders.” Story, approach, treatment and performance, all are essentially Gallic. The Nordic does not know nor feel such a superlative conception : of
plot moves swiftly and directly, but there is gossamer embellishment of subtle satire and delightful: naughtiness.
Has Unfaililg Grace
In other hands the plot might have become heavy and dull, but Jacques Feyder’'s direction has an unfailing grace and charm. The picture is civilized and sophisticated, yet filled with a down-to-earth sympathy for human foibles that | will warm the cockles of your heart. I can recall only one American film | that approaches this oe in flawless | delivery of light comedy, and that | was “The Guardsman.” But “The | Guardsman” was an artistic triumph | for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon- | tanne, while Director Feyder has achieved a like result with a score | of principals and a cast that mqunts | into the thousands. 3 The story can be sketched only | briefly. It takes place in the little Flemish village of Boom in the 17th | century. The villagers are prepar- | ing for their annual “kermesse” or
- carnival, when a courier brings news |
that a Spanish duke and his entourage will spend the night in! Boom. | ® Burgomaster Plays Dead
A terrified village council envisions murder, arson and worse. So the pompous burgomaster decides he will ‘play dead,” hoping the Spanish forces will respect civic grief and leave the town unharmed. But his wife and the other village women are disgusted, w he men hide and the butgomaster Jes in state, they go forth to meet’the invading host. The amorous Spaniards are captivated by their recep-
