the versatility which keeps his engaging per

Resides Mr.. Hart's straightforward art,
''The Primal Lure" has good deal of snow
and Indians and frontier posts. They give
the cameraman q chance to show us some
very refreshing pictures as well as some eN-
citing ones. In the present case the gun
takes n back seat and the fire and stake
of Indian cruelty do their best to put Mr..
Hart out Of moral existence. Fortunately,
they are foiled and Mr.. Hart finishes the
fifth reel with very husky bundle OF 1ur-
