Moat of the picture, however, was taken on location at Tarsana, the Edirar Hire Burrouglia ranch In the rolling Sa 1 Fernand valley, wbere the largest aet built tbia year waa constructed. Tbe atory concerns an average '; yonnf city couple, down on their luck. who take a new lenae on life and love when th find themselves transplant " ed to a farm, and siirrornd themsel ' Tea with a group of disinherited folks, : like themselves, from all walka of life. Expecting to find penre and happl '-' neaa close to nature, they are aur prised to encounter emotional eon : flicta more atirring than any that con fronted them In the whirling rortei of tbe city.

It la of a type which producers ' wonld have flatly refused to undertake, not an many yeara ago. and 1 a hopeful sign that Hollywood to aware that public taste in drama baa undergone considerable change sine, the early daya of the talkie. Tb picture waa directed by Frank Boraage, who. Judging from bla past accesses, haa an uncanny judgment f what type of etorlea and emotions really entertain America. He la best known for bla work In such acreen Playa as Huraor.sn.u.," "Seventh Heaaven," "Bad Girl." "Farewell to Arma" and "A Man'e Castle." If there ta a type of dramatic material com mon to earn of these productions, it la that of aincere, natural action and motion which reflects life Itself In stead of artificial fanciea. The atory on which "No Greater Glory" la based, baa Ita aettlngs In Budapest, Tlnngary. The people of the drama have the Joya and aorrowe, the amhltlona and dlsappolntmenta. the atrugglra and triumphs which are the common fato of humanity. The main action la based on the struggles of rival organisations of yontha to get posseaalon or a recreation lot, which to them assumes an Importance as great as any nation. After the manner of their eldera, they take the position that wbat'a worth having is worth fighting for with resulta which are not easy to imagine.
