Milton Sills has been seen in better

story of the Foreign Legion, featured
at the Metropolitan Theater this

Paris from Moltavia, who squanders
fortune and honor and then is forced
to choose between exile in the For
eign Legion or quiet and unobtru-
sive death by his own hand. He is
persuaded to choose the former and
is sent to the Sahara to command a
little French fort. Years pass, in
which the wastrel finds himself and
becomes the strong silent type.
