Le déserteur Filming Locations

The scene opens, showing the inside of a small country theater. The stage is occupied by a number of actors, singing and dancing, among them a most attractive young soubrette. A group of soldiers are making their way towards the door because it is time for them to return to their barracks. A young officer, who has fallen in love with the pretty dancer, decides to go back to the place of merriment, and, having spent all his money, he steals some of the regiment's funds, and, with great difficulty, manages to elude the guards. He arrives at his sweetheart's home and showers upon her pretty gifts. While she is thanking him, the door opens, and officers arrest the deserter. He is led back to his garrison and deprived of the insignia of his rank and sentenced to prison insight of his fellow officers. The heart-broken proud old father comes to see him and gives him a revolver to end his disgraceful career.
