first meeting comes just after Gray has
been severely reprimanded by Gen,
Dodge because the young mans pet
dog had flown at the~officer and taken
small piece out of his leg.
But such little thing doesn't pre-
vent Bill and Peggy from falling deep
ly in love. How the romance pro-
crosses to the tune of any number Of
complications that would arise in an
army training camp, complications that
any returned soldier may vouch for
as humorous when applied to a ro-

Suffice it that a good many humorous

The news is spread rapidly and when
the newspapers get hold of the story it
is embellished with the result that a
near scandal results. However as all
good stories do, it ends happily with
everyone in his rightful place.
Miss Clark has been given role for
which she is ideally suited and strong
supporting cast is given the star, The
play is a perturbation Of the stage
play of the same name which was one
of the most amusing and delightful Of

There is a society atmosphere in the

especially pleasing to the feminine eye

tainly gained new laurels by his direc-
ton of this charming picture.
That a poetic masterpiece of the del
icate texture of "Evangelne" should
be adapted for the screen without the
sacrifice of any part of it's charm as
literature is an astonishing feat-and
one that places the producers several
steps further forward in the true ad-
vancement of the motion picture.
The beauty. simplicity and tender
pathos of this famous love epic are
its distinguishing characteristics as a
literary work, and they have been re-
tanned by Mr.. Walsh in directing the
motion picture-which adheres faith
fully to Longfellow's poem.
Director Walsh has shown exception
al creative genius in the composition
of the many beautiful scenes which POI /
tray the life of the happy Acadians in
Grand Pre- before the deportation edict
and the wanderings of the harassed and
unhappy Acadians after the deporta-
ton.
