“LOVE AND GLORY.”
“Blow the French retreat!” A. handful of French soldiers, lacing an overwhelming army of Arabs on the blazing sands of an Algerian desert, awaited the order of their stern commander. Standing beside the commander ol the Arabs, a captive, was the bugLer of the French unit. The Arab raised liis sword. There was the glittering menace of death in that fanatical sheik’s eyes. “Blow the French retreat! lie commanded harshly. . The bugler raised the bugle to his lips, his hand unsteady, his face was pale as death. . Then his muscles tightened, ms eyes closed. And straight into the blazing sun he blew —not the ietreat, but the Charge. A bullet from the riflle of a comrade tore the uplifted sword from the hand of the Arab and terrible confusion resulted. Defeat was turned to victory in a glorious response by the French troops to the thrill of that daring bugle call. This scene staphs out like a cameo in a production that is full of romance, thrilling action, and the g.ory of youth, but there are other beautiful cameos in “Love and Glory, due. at the Maoriland on Monday nignx.
