“FOREIGN LEGION” AT BRITANNIA
‘ The Foreign Legion" will be shown at the Britannia Theatre this evening. The novel was a gripping story oi love and duty, set against the background of the French Foreign Legion in Algiers. The picture excels the book in the colourful presentation ot the lives and adventures, the passions and the impulses of these iron soldiers and the steely discipline under which they live. Norman Kerry and Lewis Stone are co-starred in the picture. Opposite them are two popular women, Alary Nolan and June Marlowe, one the exotic, heart-breaker, the other the adorable, sweetheart type. The story concerns a British society man and army officer who becomes infatuated with an unscrupulous woman, a blonde of indescribable beauty. Her kisses spell disaster. His fate is to be cashiered from the army and to drop out of sight. He turns up in the French Foreign Legiorn as a private under the command of his own father, who had similarly dropped out of sight before him. "Her Cardboard Lover." the second picture, is an amusing comedy starring the popular Marion Bavies.
