It may be noted, "BEAU GESTE‘‘ ATTRACTS BIG CROWDS THIS WEEK a big drawing card. It may be noted, too, that this picture fully deserved the big attendance at each showilig and the interest given to this nowâ€" famous film. It is undoubtedly one of the best pictures of receent years, having all the qualitiee that make such a work of art truly great. The cast is equal in excellence to the play and . theâ€" wonderful â€" photography. Every member on the unusually large cast tikes his or her part in very clever way. The cast includes:â€"Ronâ€" ald Colman, Alice Joyce, Noah Beery, Mary Brian, Neil Hamilton, Ralph: Forbes, Wim. Powell, Norman Trevor, and literally thousands of others. It is a stirring story of the French Foreign Legion and the love of three brothers,â€"a picture that will linger in the memory. Its theme is rather sad, but there are flashes of wit and humour to give the story the touch of life. Those who missed this picture missed a treat. An added attraction was the special ‘‘Beau Geste‘‘ orâ€" chestra travelling with the picture. The music was one of the extra items much appreciated.
