Bill Powell as Boldini!

 Beau Geste is not the kind of movie one would consider as a William Powell vehicle.  Of course, in 1926 there was not yet a William Powel vehicle.  He's close.

I like movie heralds, find them entertaining.  The centerfold attempts to tell what the movie is about and who the stars and their roles are.  This herald does just that.  I like the circular inserts for Bill and Noah Beery, eye-catching.  Beery was a super big star at this time and Powell is a rising star.  

The line-up of the heroic characters makes for a great scene.  Starting with Powell on the far left, the other leads are Ralph Forbes, Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton and Noah Beery.  It does somewhat worry me that Colman is holding his gun pointing upward, more likely to take out Beery than the advancing enemy.  

Note Bill's mustache.  I'm glad he changed over to a smaller version.
