Swords, javelins, bucklers, mounted knights, picturesque costumes of the period of Louis XI, all were there, and all contributed to the realistic reproduction of the time of the Beige of Beauvais. The assault was beaten off and the siege was raised, and motion picture operators recorded a film version of that famous event in history, accurate to its smallest detail, except that Carcassonne; instead of Beauvais, was used as the setting. of the famous siege. Thus, it is,- not only in California that fake scenes can be enacted, which will be exact in their, every particular to bring back again some incident that happened, perhaps thousands of miles away and many years ago. Beauivais no longer has any fortifications, Carcassonne : has them in abundance. What more natural, then, that Carcassonne should be the groundwork for the siege of Beauvais? Charles the Bold was impersonated by M. Canni Marcoux, of the Paris Opera,Jeanne Hachette! by Mmc. Yvonne SergyJ, and the Tits- I torv was complete.
