THE FOREIGN LEGION
RONALD COLMAN IN ‘ BEU GESTE.” The atmosphere of the Sahara with its shifting, sliding sand* hills, the trek of the legion forces across the steaming desert sands with the sweltering legionaries tramping in a march that seems endless. These scenes are so faithful that the hot fetid breath of the desert seems to rise to you in the theatre. Through it all is a romance, a mystery an.* I a theme of brother love that will make you throb with the realism and life of it. “Beau Geste” is a story of the French Foreign Legion, that famous band, a heterogeneous mass of humanity, in whose ranks swarm adventurers, heroes, criminals and romancers. That is the setting. Into this atmosphere comes the love of three brothers, a love that borders almost on idolatry, with a mystery about a stolen jewel. Director Brcnon has breathed a spirit of adventure and romance, mystery and action into the thrilling tale as told bv P. C. Wren. Ronald Colman. Neil Hamilton, Ralph Forbes. Alice Joyce. Mary Brian Norman Trevor, Noah Beery, William Powell and Victor McLaglen are the stars in the cast. “Beau Geste,” a Paramount picture, will be presented
