the biographs corrupt morality; not that the
implication against them is that they in any
way outrage propriery but they are said. by their
vivid representations of scenes drawn from real
life. to inculcate discomfort with existing social
institutions and more particularly to promote
among the lower middle classes the spirit of
anti-militarism. For instance, at one of these
establishments in a boulevard series of scenes
is exhibited representing the adventures of
young Partisan soldier who has had the mis-
fortune to get on bad terms with his regimental
superiors. From the moment that the youthful
''piou -piou" having fingered too long to embrace
his sweetheart. arrives late at the barracks and
replies insolently to the reproaches of his ser
geant his existence becomes an inferno.
II must be admitted that he has largely HIM
self to blame. He cannot be unaware of the
terrible severity with which insubordnation is
punishable in the French army. Only mad
man would, as this young soldier does, strike
his sergeant in the face in reply to a second
reprimand. In the French army the punishment
for this outrage is death, which is rarely in
hicted. however. except when a regiment is on
active service The soldier in the biograph is
tried by court martial, before which his con-
duct is again unnecessarily insolent, and is SEN
fenced TO long term of 'travaux publiques,"
kind of military penal servitude, which does
not, however, inflict the same social disgrace as
''travaux forces" the hard labor to which Civil
criminals are condemned His parting with his
agonized relatives on leaving for Algeria, where
these military sentences are invariably carried
out, is a very highly drawn picture and never

exhausted by the way and vainly begs the
friendly hand that has saved him to put him
out of his misery. Here the audience is again
moved to tears
The Arabs track him and bring him back
bound to the camp. and there in a final move

comma nding officer. who draws revolver and
shoots him dead. II is true that all these ad-
