Tascher is in military costume on one of the buildings of the old Indian Pueblo or Village in Balboa Park, where members of San Diego State College's Sigma Lambda and others filmed a parody of "Beau Geste." The buildings were razed in 1946 and the Veterans Memorial Building built where they had stood. The fraternity sponsored the only three showings of the film, at San Diego State College in 1940.
