And the Marseillaise itself, the dramatic national hymn of the French nation, is dramatized both in pictures and music. This song is the theme behind the picture, the inmortal music that carries forward both the beautiful love story between Boles, as Rouge de Líale, und Miss La Plante, as Marie Marnay, who becomes the flaming traders of the early revolu- tionists, known to them and to the whole of France as "The Torch,"
It is Ln Marseillaise, also, which carries forward the tremendous drama of the revolution itself, pictured in the fim by huge battle scenes between the revolutionary mobs and the King's trained guards, in which as many as 7,000 players, all in peasant costumes or brilliant picturesque uniforms, were used at one time.
Interspersed throughout the pic. ture are gorgeous spectacle scenes In music of the old peasant folk dances by torchlight, of the quaint custome and dress of the rustics, and beautiful, romantic love scenes between Bales and Miss La Plante.
