BRITANNIA
“BRIGADIER GERARD” "Brigadier Gerard,” starring Rod la Rocque, will be shown at the Britannia Theatre to-night. Rod la Rocque has the role of Etienne Gerard, a young, daring, ambitious French country boy whose sole ambition is to attach himself to the military service of Napoleon, whom he terms “my friend the Emperor.” He meets and aids Countess de Launay, one of Napoleon’s secret agents who is harassed by Talleyrand, one of the Emperor’s ministers, who has been bribed by the Spanish ambassador to obtain certain documents of State in possession of the countess. For his services on behalf of the countess, Gerard is made a captain in Napoleon’s guard. It is sufficient to say that these happenings provide thrills galore and the drama is gratefully relieved by an abundance of wholesome comedy.
