DE LUXE THEATRE.

"Charge of the Light Brigade."

"The Charge of the Light Brigade," Warner Bros.' stupendous production suggested by the immortal poem of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, will be the star attraction at the De Luxe Theatre tomorrow with an all-star cast headed by Errol.Flynn and Olivia de Havilland—and over 15,000 extra people. The absorbing story of which the charge of the Light Brigade makes the sensational climax, begins in India, where two brothers, both Army officers, are rivals for the hand of a beautiful Scottish girl. The girl is betrothed to the elder, but during his absence, fighting on the frontier, she falls in love with the younger. She struggles against this love, believing herself pledged to her fiance, but when she finds that both of her lovers have been ordered to the front against the Russians in the Crimea, she confesses her love for his brother to her betrothed, at the same time expressing her fear that the man she loves will be killed in battle. The elder brother and superior officer promises he will keep the younger from danger, and carries out this pledge when he sends his brother back to headquarters with a note to the commandant telling him that he has deliberately changed an order for retreat into an attack, he himself riding to his death on the battlefield. This is the terrific climax to the picture, which is filled with thrilling action.
