The Magic Flame is a 1927 feature film directed by Henry King, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, and based on the 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.[1] The film promoted itself as the Romeo and Juliet of the circus upon its release.

This is now considered to be a lost film.[2] The first five reels are rumored to exist at the George Eastman House, though this is disputed.[3][4]
