For this is the third of a five day contest which asks readers to match scenes from the motion picture with the lines from the poem they best illustrate. The Contest Editor has deliberately mixed them up, so that nothing but your judgment and “news” sense can help you decide whether the lines belong with the picture underneath which they appear or not. Everyone will want to see “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” which is said tq be one of the greatest motion pictures ever filmed. Inspired by Tennyson’s immortal poem, it carries spectators through strange lands and excit ing episodes incident to the building of the British Empire in India and the Crimea. A thrilling romance, in which beautiful Olivia de Havilland is courted by two brothers, Errol Flynn and Patric Knowles, is made the real cause for the famous “charge” now generally believed to be one of the most spectacular military blunders in history. This charge forms the climax of the picture. In addition to the large cast, more than 15,000 extra players were required for the tremendous spectacles.
