"BEAU IDEAL." TO-NIGHT AND TOMOItKOW. Ralph Forbes, who gained screen fame in "Beau Geste,' plays the romantic lead in "Beau ideal," a powerful drama of desert adventure and sequel to the "Geste" romance, to be shown at the New Theatre to-night and tomorrow night. "Beau Ideal" is a follow-up to "Beau Geste." Jfou will recall that in "Beau Geste" one of the Geste brothers escaped the massacre of the Legion troops. His fate was left in doubt at the close of the picture. In retrospect, we are told in "Beau Ideal" that his brother returned to England and to his sweetheart Isobel Brandon, that he .was captured, tried and sentenced to the Penal Battalion of the Foreign Legion for the murder of a brutal sergeant. A surprise ending, which, of course it would be unfair to divulge, makes of "Beau Ideal" a fine entertainment and a superior successor to the classic "Beau Geste." By all means don't miss "Beau Ideal" if vou liked "Beau Geste."
