BEAU GESTE. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NEXT. The atmosphere of the Sahara, with its shifting, sliding, sandhills; the trek of the legion forces across the steaming desert sands, with the sweltering legionarie tramping In a march that seems endless. These scenes are so faithful that tihe hot fetid breath of the desert seems to rise to you in theatre. Through it all is a romance, a mystery, and a theme of brother love that will make, you throb with the idetlism 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.
