Five actors pose during the production of the parody of "Beau Geste." They are: H. Billy Miller, William Tascher, Nord Whited, unidentified, and Robert Wade. This informal shot was taken on the site of the Indian Pueblo or Village in San Diego's Balboa Park, now the site of the Veterans Memorial Building. Three were members of the Sigma Lambda fraternity that sponsored the only three showings, at San Diego State College where they were students.
