They aro. Victor M'Laslen and Dolores Del Rio,' who played Captain Flagg and Charmiaue, rescctively, In "What Price Glory." In addition the cast includes Ben Bard and' Don Alvarado. Walsh was given every opportunity to make au exceptional "Carmen," and he has* delineated this striking character in a manner new to the screen. The director did not want' for magnificent costumes and authentic backgrounds. Edwin C. Hill has been in Spain for tho past year and has assembled an elaborate wardrobe for tho picture. The acting of a notable cast, excellent scenic effects, and, above all, striking reI alism, makes "Loves of Carmen" one of the r most effective screen products of the season.
