MERELY PHYSICAL IN REFER
ENCE TO PLAYERS IN "ONLY 3Sr

The smallest cast ever engaged for
a regular motion picture of featured
length was for William de Miles
Paramount production of "Only 49,
in which May McAvoy, Lois Wilson,
Elliott Dexter and George Fawcett
are featured, and which will be on
view at the Idaho theatre next Friday
and Saturday.
Not small in the number of people
engaged, but in the size of the various
persons taking part, however. May
McAvoy is one of the tiniest actresses
on the screen. She is less than five
feet tall and does not tip the scales
to one hundred pounds. Lois Wilson
is about average. Taylor Granves, an
other member of the cast is only
three inches taller than Miss McAvoy,
and Robert Agnew, another player,
ranges only three more inchest above
Taylor. Lillian Leighton is less than
five feet three inches in height
George Fawcett is only about average
height. Ann Cornwall could double
Tor May in size, their height and
weight being exact.
The only tall member of the cast is |
elliott Dexter, who is well over the |
Lverage height.

Patbos and Comedy In Film

A photoplay based on the play
which few year ago was one of the
hits of Broadway is Success" sched-
uled for presentation on Friday al
the Kenworthy theatre With Brandon
lyman, the stage star, in the role
which he originally created in the
spoken play. The dramatic interest
IN the story and the excellence of
thecast which interprets the various
roles should make the presentation
a distinct hit.
Success is a story of the theatre,
but unlike many of the type, this is
said to have been written by persons
familiar with the intimate details of
life behind the fOotlights. It's authors
have managed to capture the spirit
and atmosphere Of the playhouse, and
the characters which they have in
troduced are all faithful, actual types.
In addition to Mr.. lyman, the cast
includes the delightful screen actress,
Mary Aston, as the talented daughter;
Naomi Childers as her mother; and
Dore Davidson, Lionel Adams, Stan
ley Ridges, Robert Lee KEELING, Billy
Quirk and others. The photoplay is
by Murray w. Carson, and
released by Metro Pictures Corpor-
alton. 1t is a Ralph Ince production,
written and adapted by Adeline
Leitzbach and Theodore A. Liebler,
Jr. George V. Hobart wrote the titles.

Mandans Are Wiped Out

Whatever their past history may
have been, it is certain that their
practical humiliation in a few
years as result of contact with
the whites is a pathetic incident in
the story of the plains tribes. The
first knowledge of them, SO far as
white historians are concerned, To-
Gates them on the Missouri river,
considerably below their later loca-
ton, where they lived in nine vii
lagos and numbered at least 5000
men, women and children. The con-
slant enmity of the Sioux and the
other warlike tribes over many
years gradually reduced their
strength, while smallpox, carried to
them by white men, threatened
their determination. The remnants
of the nine villages finally joined
forces and moved up the river some
distance, where they we're found by
Lewis and Clark. The Mandans
then had two villages, numbering
altogether less than 1000 souls. In
1887 the tribe was for the last time
overwhelmed by smallpox, which
carried off all but AS of its people.
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1923-01-26

The Mandans were one of the
few plains tribes of Indians who
lived in permanent villages and
were an agricultural people. They
had separate villages for summer
and winter use, the latter being To-
Gated among the groves of trees
along the river, where better pro-
lection was afforded from the win
ter billiards.. The summer vii
lagos were occupied for eight
months of the year.
Descendants of Welsh?
The theory of numerous authori-
ties, including Catlin, is that the
Mandans are an intermixture of
Welsh blood with that of some In
dian tribe. The same claim has
been made in connection with the
Grow tribe, but it has remained
only theory.
In the early part of the 18th cen
fury, it is stated, Prince Madoc, or
Madawe, set sail from North Wales
with ten ships and large colony
of his countrymen, who are sup
posed to have landed somewhere
on the coast of North America.
None ever returned to Wales. Some
authorities declare that they have
traced them to the mouth of the
Mississippi river, which they are
believed to have assembled to the
region of the Upper Missouri.
Cat1in, who followed up the Mis-
souri, in 1883, holds that he traced
the journeyings by ancient fortifi-
cations made at various places by
this colony from the Ohio river to
the Mandan villages in Dakota. He
stated the belief that the Mandans
we're descended from Prince Ma |
dawes colony, and supported the
theory by giving long list of
similar words used both in the
Welsh and Mandan languages, as
we'll as by pointing to the numer-
ous civilized customs and the man
fractures found among the Man
1ans. He says: Scarcely day in
he summer when a visitor to their
villages would not see the women
it work with their hands and fin

gers, molding clay into wares, cups,
pitchers and pots, and baking them
in their little kilns under the sides
of the river banks"
Catlin also mentions the fact of
their having a secret art of manu-
featuring a type of blue glass
beads, which curiosity was men
toned by Lewis and Clark Eat a
time when no traders or other
white people had been among them
or could have taught them so GU
rious an art" Catlin infers that
the Mandans must have warred
their way against the Sioux to
their location on the Missouri river
Huts of the Mandans
La Verendrye, the first white
man whom history credits with
having visited the Mandans and
describing this tribe, stated that
they were very crafty in trade and
all other relations, that they were
also finer leather dressers than any
other tribes, "and do very fine
work on furs and feathers .
The younger Alexander Henry,
who was familiar with the Man
dams in the days of Lewis and
Clark, wrote the most complete
early description of the huts in
which the Mandans lived. He says
in part:
"a Mandan's circular hut is spa
cious. | measured the one [ lodged
in and found it 90 feet from the
door to the opposite side. The
whole space is first dug out about
one and one-half feet below the
surface of the earth. In the center
is the square fireplace, about five
feet on each side, dug out about
two feet below the surface of the
ground flat. The lower part of the
nut is constructed by erecting
strong posts about six feet out of
he ground at equal distances from
Zach other, according to the pro-
posed size of the hut as they are
lot all of the same dimensions. Up
IN these are laid logs as large as
he posts, reaching sfrom post to
,ost to form the circle. On the
