Picture Show Annual 103 Sum m two FLATS IVOR NoVELLO must have felt rather like a bigamist when he was filming " A Symphony in Two Flats," as he had to make love to two wives. In the film which is exhibited in America, Jacqueline Logan appears opposite him, but in this country we see Benita Hume in her original stage part. " A Symphony in Two Flats " is really two films in one. When Ivor Novello wrote the play from which the film is. taken, he divided the characters into two separate households and the adventures of the people living in the one flat are quite distinct from the drama which goes on ( in the other. Ivor Novello and Jacqueline Logan. Ivor Novello takes the part of a young composer who becomes blind when working on a symphony with which he hopes to win a competition and at last gain recognition. Trying to avert his disappointment on hearing that he has not been successful, his wife tells him that his symphony has been selected and the dramatic scene is when he listens in (on the wireless) to the Albert Hall, where the symphony is being played, and discovers the truth. However, the story does not end here, and the symphony finishes on a happy note.
