HISTORIC PLYMOUTH
Z. INDIGNANT At FILM
Folk Point to Certain Situations
in "The Landing Of the Phi.

PLYMOUTH. Mass, March L.
Plymouth folk are indignant at what
they say is Misrepresentation Of history
In. a motion picture film taken for dis
play at the Panama Pacific exposition
and entitled 1.-THE Landing Of the Pill
grims."
The Plymouth folk point to certain
situations In the film as Historically in
correct, but the picture people reply
that the spirit of history 10 preserved
and that the scenes are necessary In
the Aim. The points in which the Plym-
outh folk find fault include these:
!. Sanoset. the white mans friend.
ls shown on a roam mare greeting Miles
Standish. when az a matter OF fact,
plymouth folk say there were no horses
in those days.
2. Women are shown in the first boat
load Of landing Pilgrims. when. the
plymouth folk assert, there were no
women in the first party. and the May
flower never came nearer Plymouth
than Frovircetown harbor.
g. An Indian skirmish is one Of the
scenes, but Plymouth folk say there
were no Indian skirmishes. a peace
treaty having been concluded with the
Indians on Thursday. March %. 162l,
