Long before Samuel T. Peace, one of Jeb Stuart's cavalrymen, moved in and gave his name to Peaceburg, Ala., the tiny hamlet tucked away among the cotton fields of Calhoun County had been a going community. Last week no one by the name of Peace was left in Peaceburg. Sadder still, Peaceburg itself was deceased. Its inhabitants had to move away because their town was needed to enlarge the maneuvering ground and artillery range for training of troops stationed at Fort McClellan near...
...glory of Britain and her throne. The British backed a handful of braided and powdered French officers with phony French money printed by the solid Bank of England. These cadres were also supplied by the British with arms and uniforms for 17,000 infantrymen and 6,000 cavalrymen, who were supposed to be waiting for their chance.

...succeeds where hundreds have failed. "Dark Triumph," boasting a lot of new talent and some oldtimers like Walter Pidgeon and Clare Trevor is one of the better pictures to his a Boston screen this year. It has splendid acting, direction that knows how to use a herd of thundering cavalrymen and how to develop the character of a good man turned bad, and a touch of building-the-old-West spirit all rolled into one. If Hollywood can keep turning American history into such thrillers, it had better put the Schlesingers and Bucks on its payroll instead of the George...
...natural horsewoman, Conchita out-jumped Peruvian cavalrymen in a local horse show when she was eleven. At 13, her riding master, a onetime Portuguese bullfighter named Ruy Da Camara, taught her the art of the rejoneador-at first with calves, then with more & more ferocious bulls. At 14, she gave an exhibition of equestrian bullfighting at a charity horse show at Lima. At 15, she made her debut-not in society but in a professional bull ring...
