The reputation of the whole army was at' stake and someone had to be convicted to settle the minds of the public. Dreyfus, a Jew, was named, and changed with high treason. His guilt was not proved, but a charge had been made and a conviction must be entered.

Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, nlavwrights, have taken Ronald Col- £ for » ride in “The Unholy Garden,” which finally screens at the New Plymouth Opera House to-mght. Not m the Chicago sense, however. The f am * ous writing team have provided . Samuel Goldwyn’s romantic hero with a screen vehicle which lands . him in the A.]<rerian desert. In that far-off land dramatic adventures befall Colman. . A new type of role was wanted for him, as he is one* star who refuses to bo stereotyped. This is borne out by the variety of characters he has portraj cd in recent years. Here he portrays the role of a swashbuckling rogue who becomes enmeshed in a baud of cut-throats in a crime colony in the Algerian desert. Estelle Taylor and Fay AVra'y portray leading roles. The shorts include Pathe Magazine, cartoon and “Divorce a la Carte” (comedy).
