A book written, a song sung, or a

impressing a truth. serves no pur-
pose. Clarence Sim, in writing
"As Told In The Hills, succeeded
in presenting the American Indian
to American audiences, as he is by
nature. Pamnena and Little Fox
portray the beauty and truth Of the
Indian soul, as God created him, and
not as the white race has made it.
The romantic love of an Indian boy
and girl gives play to poetic express

pretty story of love and intrigue.
The sentiment of the play is fine.
the comedy is good and wholesome.
