Anaheim, Calif., Dec. 19, 1935 THE CRUSADE a novelization of the CECIL B. DeMille by DONALD BARR CHIDSEY SYNOPSIS Richard the Lion Heart, King of England, is pledged to marry Alice, sister of Philip of France. He doesn't relish the idea of being married to the scheming Alice. So he joins the Holy Crusade to free the tomb of Christ in Jerusalem from the infidels when the Hermit, who is organizing the Crusade, assures him that the taking of the cross cancels a pledge. CHAPTER III So Richard and a great part of Richard's fighting-men, with banner and sworder and pennoncel, with mace and batteauxe and long stout falcnion, with longmow and crossbow, and with the simple staff of the pilgrim—knights and squires and men-at-arms and varlets—went singing across the Channel, and across France, until they came to the port of Marseilles, where Sancho, the King of Navarre, ruled timidly but with snrewness. They were to embark in ships at Marseilles. Sancho was not going with them, but they had been joined by other kings with men of other nations. Philip of France was there; and grain. A hundred cartloads of fodder for your horses." "You can marry your wench to the devil." Leicester said sadly: "Sire, the men are weak for need of food. We sail tomorrow. Even the horses will die, if they have no fodder." At last Richard asked: "How many head of cattle have you, Navarre?" "Seven thousand." "How much grain?" "Barley and wheat enough to fill your cargo ships." "So be it! I'll marry your wench—when I return from Holy Land." "No," said Sancho. "I do not deal in promises, even the promises of the King of England. You'll marry her tonight." "Now may you roast in hell, Navarre! Well then, drive your cattle and your carts here, and I'll marry her tonight!" That night they ate—all of them, from Ricardo to the lowest camp pontooner. They ate good roast beef, and they wetted it down with ale, shouting and singing deignantly. mouthed brawler with no dignity. She had watched him, from her window, and seen him knock down a hulking varlet who had injured his horse. Now, before the altar of a small wayside chapel she waited for him—and bit the inside of her lips to keep back further tears. The monk entered, and he was followed by frizzy, foolish Blondel who carried a huge flachion. Sancho looked beyond them. "Where is King Richard?" The monk pointed to the sword Blondel held. "Here," said the monk. "That's Richard's minstrel!"" "and Richard's sword." CHAPTER IV Blondel whined: "He sent the sword as a token." "A token?" Sancho's face was white with furry. "A token or what? Where is your master?" "He is in deep sleep. He cannot be here. And this makes us miss him too." stair of the pilgrim—knights and squires and men-at-arms and varlets—went singing across the Channel, and across France, until they came to the port of Marseilles, where Sancho, the King of Navarre, ruled timidly but with srenewaness. They were to embark in ships at Marseilles. Sancho was not going with them, but they had been joined by other kings with men of other nations. Pinnip of France was there; and Hugo of Burgundy; and Sverre, the monstrous Viking; and many others. And in the midst of them, at Marseilles, Rienard surged and brawled, bringing up war engines, tending to his men, crusing, laughing, bellowing commands. Richard never stood on his dignity as a great king. He had no need to do so. If there was confusion he could stop it with a roar; if there was dissent, he could, and did, with his own fists knock down the leaders. But even Richard's voice and fists could not dispel hunger in the bellies of the fighting men, and the countryside around Marseilles had been stripped of food. "Meat!" the men called. "Meat, for the love of God!" They couldn't sail without it. They were starving. Richard summoned Sancho to his tent. "I'll give you a bond on the City of London for your cattle." But Sancho shook his head. "And what could I do with your City of London? Can you move it here? No, you've heard my price." "I cannot pay it!" Sancho said: "Navarre is a poor country, and I'm a poor king. We drove our cattle down to sell for gold, not for promises." He looked at the tip of his scabbard. "Still," he said softly, "there is a way—" "How? Name it! I'll pay any price!" "I have a daughter," Sancho said. "A fair, sweet girl, like a flower. A girl—but ready to be married. You understand?" Richard said bluntly: No." "Marry her," said King Sancho. "Marry—Well, by the devil's beard!" "I'll settle a dower on her. Herds of cattle. Shiploads of "No," said Sancho. "I do not deal in promises, even the promises of the King of England. You'll marry her tonight." "Now may you roast in hell, Navarre! Well then, drive your cattle and your carts here, and I'll marry her tonight!" That night they ate—all of them, from Ricenard to the lowest camp ponderer. They ate good roast beef, and they wetted it down with ale, snouting and singing dogeacly. And Ricenard sang with them. When the monk interrupted him he was annoyed, and puzzled. "The lady is waiting." "The lady? What lady?" "Berengaria of Navarre, whom you will marry, Sire." "Ah . . . Richard gazed glumly at his tankard. His minstrel, Blondel, giggled. "Oh, Sire, permit me to lead you to the bridal bower!" Richard glared at him. And Ricenard slowly drew his sword, the sword he himself had helped to make. Blondel looked frightened. "I'll do more than that," said Richard. This was not so funny. Blondel dropped his lute, started wildly to shake his head. He spluttered that he could not— "Take this sword," Richard said. "Have you never heard that one of the blood royal may send his sword to the altar in his stead?" He appealed to the monk. "Is it not so, good brother?" "Marriage by token is your prerogative Sire," the monk said. Blondel stood holding the weapin, almost as big as he was. He blinked in the light of the torches. "But what will Navarre say to this bridegroom?" he wailed. "That," said Richard, "is for you to learn." Berengarla, fair and slim and straight, wore white—as a bride should do. Her eyes were still a little red. Her father had commanded, and it was for her to obey; but she was terrified. This King Richard had not ever seen her; but she had seen him, the previous day, and she didn't like him. A tall man, yes. A handsome man. But a brute. A loud- CHAPTER IV Blondel whined: "He sent the sword as a token." "A token?" Sancho's face was white with furry. "A token or what? Where is your master?" "He is in deepest that he cannot be here. And all these misuses him. So much misuse me." "You! His misuse!" "When has no power to handle infliction." Berenangaria stood very straight standing with large eyes at by sword. The monk said. "She, the man against true. I your daughter marries this sword she marries King Richard." "En?" "Such is the law." "The law? the law?" said Sancho. "And the marriage would hold?" "Until death." "Hmmm . . ." Sancho thought of this for a while. He glanced at his daughter, who had not stirred He glanced at the floor. Then he went to Berengaria, took her hand "You see, child? You were mis taken. Did I not tell you this Richard was a man of his word? He nodded to the priest who stood before the altar. "Let us begin the ceremony." Then Berengaria seemed to come to life. She ran wildly for the door. "No! No! I will not do it!" "My child!" "I will not marry a sword! I will not do it!" But Sancho held her. He pleaded ed with her. This was not a mer sword she was to marry, he told her: it was the King of England. "For the Crusade—" she whispered. And so they were wed, a beautiful woman and a stark, cold sword held high by a minstrel King Richard was drinking an laughing with his men, in camp while this ceremony was performed in the little chapel. King Richard's own blade glittered in the candlelight, and the priest adressed it solemnly: "Wilt thou, Richard, have this woman to thy wife, to love her and worship her and keep her sickness and in health, and all others for sake, and hold thee her, to thy life's end?" SAID. "A fair, sweet girl, like a flower. A girl—but ready to be married. You understand?" Richard said bluntly: No." "Marry her," said King Sancho. "Marry—Well, by the devil's beard!" "I'll settle a dower on her. Herds of cattle. Shiploads of should do. Her eyes were still a little red. Her father had commanded, and it was for her to obey; but she was terrified.

"A token of here is your master?" in deep that he cannot understand the message sent me." Blondel stammered: "I—I—That is, he will." "Wilt thou, Berengaria, have this man to thy husband, to love and worship and obey him, and keep him in sickness and in health?" When it was finished, Berengaria kissed the tall, cold blade that was her bridegroom—and then she threw it clattering to the floor. She ripped off her bridal veil, and this she threw at poor Blondel's feet. "Take it back to him! Take this to him too! Tell him it is all he will ever see of me!" The tears came then, and she turned. "I hate him! I hate him! I will never forgive him!" Blondel slunk out, leaving King sancho to comfort the bride. And when Blondel returned to camp his face, for once was grave. Richard, by the light of torches, was treating his favorite war-norse, Fauvel. He was washing a wound in Fauvel's foreleg. "Sire, your sword." Richard took it, smiling, and cheated it.

Byrd, who brings to Orange county the wonderful story of his recent Antarctic Expedition illustrated with 9,000 feet of new motion pictures, and who will be heard January 25, 1936 at the Fullerton union high school auditorium, has packed alternate adventure and honors into a brilliant career: Admiral Byrd will give two addresses in his only public appearance in the county, it was said. A matinee performance will be given for school children in addition to the lecture for adults at 8 p.m. Born in Winchester, Va., October 25, 1888, he entered the United States Naval Academy in 1908 and was graduated in 1912. Five years later, because of injuries, he was retired from the Navy. In 1917, he entered the Naval Air Training School at Pensacola and began his career as an aviator. During the war, he was in charge of the U.S. Air Stations in Canada, later serving on the Commission in Charge of Air Training Camps. His first experience in exploration in the colder latitudes was with the Navy-MacMillan Arctic Expedition in 1925 where he was in charge of the Naval unit. He was made Lieutenant Commander upon his return. The next year he headed his own expedition Arctic, and with Floyd was first to cross the Nov. by air. In 1927, Byrd read ambition of nine years' stay to fly the Atlantic, and this in a memorable flight New York to France. The ing year, he organized and the first Byrd Antarctic tion, founded Little America made the first success over the South Pole, Nov. He was made Rear Admits his return.

Richard, by the light of torches, was treating his favorite war-norse, Fauvel. He was washing a wound in Fauvel's foreleg. "Sire, your sword." Richard took it, smiling, and sheathed it. "Then I am married?" "Yes, Sire. And—and Sire, if you could see her!" "I don't wish to see her. Fauvel's leg here is of greater import by far. Alan, that cloth's too coarse!" Blondel held out the bridal veil. Richard glanced up. "What's this?" "A token from your bride." Richard took it. "Ah! it's soft. Just what I need." He started to bandage the wound with it. "She said," Blondel quavered, "that it was all you ever would see of her." "Good! We sail tomorrow anyway." Blondel was at Richard's side next morning when they rode down toward the harbor; and Richard was in high good spirits again. He reined his horse under a balcony, gazing up at a slim, sweet maiden there. Yellow locks hung in front of her shoulders, very soft and light, but her eyes were ice. "Doesn't an angel looking down from Heaven smile?" "Not," she said coldly, "upon a devil looking up." "No Godspeed for a poor Crusader?" She said fiercely: "Not for Richard of England!" "Oho! You recognize me! And who are you?" "It wouldn't matter to you, Richard! Ride on!" He shrugged. But his gaze was full upon her as she started away. And a moment later he said thoughtfully to Blondel: "A beauty, eh?" "My oath on it!" Blondel cried. "I wonder who she is." Blondel said carelessly: "Only your wife."

Routine business was disposed of. During the noon hour all members partook of a box luncheon. The ladies quartet, composed of Mrs. Wesley Eberhard, Mrs. F. G. West, Mrs. Alta Peck and Mrs. G. H. West entertained with some well chosen selections. Opening the afternoon program, Mrs. Ray C. Harker led the devotional services and the singing of Christmas carols. Riverend Graham Hunter of the Reverend Church of Fullerton was introduced as the speaker. His talk on "Peace in Palestine" was especially interesting because of the fact that Riverend Hunter served with the Red Cross during the World War. He told of the effects of lighting and of their struggle for peace, and gave a vivid description of the towns and ancient churches of Palestine. Two songs, "In Old Judea" and "The Virgin" were beautifully sung by Mrs. Ralph M. Waltz as she played her own accompaniment. "Why the Chimes Rang Out" was a reading given by Mrs. Agnes Carson. A very fitting closing number on the program was the translation of "Silent Night" on the piano, with chimes, by Miss Louise Tate of the Buttree Studios.
