Very likely this is a virtue under the mstances, but it is about the only one possessed by the picture. In others words, “The Volga Boatman” is a typical DeMille melo- drama, florid titles and all. Aristoc- ri is depicted with all the exaggera- tion of luxury and pride demanded by the moron imagination. The orgy staged by the White officers is quite up to equivalent specifications, until their would-be victim is dis- covered to be a princess in disguise. And the romance between princess and boatman is made lurid with im- minent death and last minute res- cues. There is one scene, howeve which seemed to me to be packed with fresh drama and irony. That is the one in which the White officers and their ladies in evening dress are harnessed to a great Volga barge, freighted with victorious Reds, and made to strain and stumble along the tow path to the familiar tune of the “Volga Boat Song.” It wouldn't be a bad idea to try this cure on some of those who are forever playing this “Boat Song.” ie idea of “The Brown is decidedly entertaining. ung plumber of a retiring dis- jon (this in itself is funny) in- herits a talisman in the shape of a brown derby which, whenever he puts it on, gives him the courage necessary to succ But Johnny Hines is hardly equal to his oppor- tunity. His good gags are often abortive as, for instance, when he presses his dress trousers with a soldering iron so that they stand up by themselves. (Why aren't they equally rigid when he wears them?) And his poor gags are terrible. I doubt if even Harold Lloyd could have made much of the second half of the picture which resolves itself into a bedroom farce with all the old complications. I also wish to register a protest against the mechanical acceleration of the film. Whenever a gag farce becomes especially weak in the pins I notice they give its projection a little extra speed so that you won't to notice how it flops.
