THRILLING TALE Gary Cooper, Andica and David Niven head an usually important cast in this thrill'ng tale of the Philippine Scouts and their herole bravery at the conclusion of the Spanish- America War when the Philippines were over run by insurrection - 1sts and religious fanatics..
For the fist time 'n his career Gary Cooper plays the role of a doctor. He comes to the distant American outpost for experience. but remains to help the army quell the rebellion. At the cutpost he meets Miss Leeds who comes there to visit her father who is the commanding officer. She supplies the romantic touch, to a story fall of fighting, sickness and trouble.

It is understood that certain sec- tions of the communities in the Philippines objected to the picture which however has proved a great, 'success wherever it was shown
