The Magic Flame

The Magic Flame is a 1927 American silent drama film directed by Henry King, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, and based on the 1900 play "Konig Harlekin" by Rudolph Lothar. George Barnes was nominated at the 1st Academy Awards for Best Cinematography for his work in "The Magic Flame", "The Devil Dancer", and "Sadie Thompson". The film promoted itself as the "Romeo and Juliet" of the circus upon its release.
This is now considered to be a lost film. The first five reels are rumored to exist at the George Eastman House, though this is disputed.
