Based on the Austrian novel, “The Affairs of Hannerl,” by Rudolph Hanns Bartsch, the picture is incom parable in atmosphere and local col or. Its striking scenes of the Bos nian — Herzegovinian regiments of the Austrian army, its many brilliant court scenes, its delightful sequence in the Prater—the Coney Island of Vienna—its multitude of street shots, where one can almost hear the bustle and hum of the crowds made the two hours spent in seeing it a never-to-be forgotten period. The performances of the leading characters are uniformly excellent. Mary Philbin as the heroine and Norman Kerry as the romantic army officer are ideally matched. Betty Compson, as the Viennese demi monde is a perfect character.
