“BEAU SABREUR”
FOREIGN LEGION PICTURE John Waters, director, and Gary Cooper, the star, of “Beau Sabreur,” Paramount’s new Foreign Legion picture, being made as a sequel to “Beau Geste,” headed a company of 1,500 at Rodock, on the Mojave Desert, where scenes of the mountain-pass fighting, one of the most thrilling chapters of Percival Wren’s novel, were being filmed. The temperature at Rodock reached 110 in the shade during the summer months, and the huge troupe experienced the realism of desert heat and discomforts as they enacted the realism of desert warfare. William Powell, Noah Beery, Evelyn Brent, Mitchel Lewis, Roscoe Karns, Arnold Kent and Amil Chautard head the supporting cast which includes hundreds of the most experienced horsemen in the West. More than 1,200 horses and 300 camels were rounded up from several Western States and various zoos throughout the country for the film, which has been in production for more than three months.
