truth is prosecuted by his fellow NOR
tails. To be quite truthful, il appears
TO be an elaborate excuse 10 display
the nude figure, but the tone of the
picture is decorous and there is no sug-
gestion Of attempted indelcacy. Occa-
sionally the audience is audibly amused
at the undraped figure fitting about
the woods and fields, but they are also
visibly impressed by the good acting OF
the chief characters. It is preceded by
interesting pictures of the Northwest.
