The Magic Flame is a 1927 American silent drama film directed by Henry King, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, and based on the play Konig Harlekin by Rudolph Lothar.[1] 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.[2] The film promoted itself as the Romeo and Juliet of the circus upon its release.

This is now considered to be a lost film.[3] The first five reels are rumored to exist at the George Eastman House, though this is disputed.[4][5]
