Tuesday, October 18, 1927 THE TAR HEEL Pase Three -0 i l 'i i I 1 FINE STAR PICTURE Rod La Rocque'8 Neio Vehicle Is "The Fighting Eagle" Bousing to enthusiasm all who have seen it elsewhere, and packed with drama, action, laughs and appeal, Rod LaRocque's latest DeMille star pic ture, "The Fighting Eagle," will have Its premier presentation at the Caro lina theatre today. A glittering to niance of the days when Napoleon held Europe in awe, and when bravery, daring, intrigue, and love were the passports to fame, "The Fighting Eagle" is said to be the best stellar vehicle in which Mr. LaRocque has thus far been seen. The leading sup porting players are Phyllis Haver, Julia Faye, Sally Rand, Sam De- Grasse and Max Barwyn.

He meets Countess y . de Launay, one of Napoleon's secret agents and falls in love with her. Talleyrand is bribed by the Spanish minister to intercept the Countess in the Pyrenees and to steal from her certain documents she purposes to deliver to Napoleon. Gerard frus trates this plot and is rewarded with a Captaincy in Napoleon's guard. Tal leyrand finally accomplishes Gerard's downfall and the latter, in disgrace with the Emperor, is courtmartialled and ordered shot. How - Gerard is saved through the operations of the Countess, and the picture brought to a delightful finish, are superbly brought out. In every respect, "The Fighting Eagle" is a Demille studios production of the finest type and well worth seeing.
