Ramona

When w. H. Clune, the Pacific
coast film magnate, announced he was
going to make motion picture pro-
duction of Ramona" that thoroughly
lovable story OF early California life
by Helen Hunt Jackson, little did he
realize that he was erecting monu-
ment to the memory of the life work
of that noble woman Neither did he
realize that this picture production
would mark an epoch in the history
OF the United States, for so carefully
and thoroughly has this picture been
made, so wonderfully has every detail
OF the book been portrayed, that the
picture production stands head and
shoulders above them all, -
The thrilling episodes of the early
life in California, which was then
under Spanish rule, are depicted in a
manner that reaches the very height
of realism. Perhaps never before has
such a wealth OF detail been incor-
porated in single picture produc-
tior.
Consisting OF 1900 feet OF film,
Ramona leaves nothing to the ina
ginatioH and fairly makes the pages
OF that worierful book throb with life
and emotion.
