Third Legion picture proves to be thriller
The third in the American Legion series, Cardigan, portrayed events before the American Revolution. Despite a fair crowd, attendees applauded and youth showed enthusiasm. The plot centers on the English commissioner's scheme to divide colonists from Indians, with a young American aiding the colonies and a sentimental love thread. An initial reel winding delay was resolved after a half hour, with Tu dor Kempkes leading the orchestra. The Legion drum and bugle corps debuted publicly, parading and signaling future Legion significance.
