Inserting a block from a module into theme

Hello,
I try to move the album carousel to a specific position into my theme, so I created a album_carousel_block.php class :

class album_carousel_block_Core {
  static function get_site_list() {
    return array("album_carousel" => t("Album carousel"));
  }
  static function get($block_id, $theme) {
    $block = "";
    switch ($block_id) {
    case "album_carousel":
	  $block->css_id = "g-album_carousel";
      $block->title = t("Album Carousel");
      $block = new Block();
      $block->content = new View("album_carousel.html");
    }
    return $block;
  }
}

And then call it inside the theme with this :

album_carousel_block::get("album_carousel", $theme)

It just returns me a blank line. I verified that the function was called, code seems correct to me but it doesn't seems to work.
Any advice ?
Thank you very much

Adding:<?= album_carousel_block::get("album_carousel", $theme); ?> works for me.
Note the = or you could use echo if so inclined.

Dave
