Hollywood, July 12.-Cattle from
a thousand hills, assembled IN a
great rodeo, carry the stellar role
in the picture "Sundown," First Ma
tional's epic of the range country
soon to be shown.
Like 1.-THE Covered Wagon" "Amer-
ica," "The Birth of Nation" it
depicts significant phase Of our
national life-the close of the pas
toral era. "Sundown" has historic
perspective and scope; isl film. docu-
ment of vanishing breed Of men
and beasts and the land they prepar-
ed for closer settlement.
Human drama rides in stirrups and
chuck wagon beside the hoofed le-
gions; drama springing from en-
croachment of homesteaders uron
the cattle provinces Of the, elder
west, from stampede, prairie fire,
financial crisis and hard straits.
But the individual actors, giving
of their best, are dwarfed by the
massed animals, $4,000 strong, wind
ing from foreground to horizon
through the picture in the slow curv-
ing line Of melancholy, the line of
yearning and regret which gives

$4,000 CATTLE HAVE STELLAR ROLE IN
MOVIE OF SOUTHWEST =.

The film is from an original story
by Earl Hudson, production super
visor of First National, based upon
recent cattle drives from the south
west states to Mexico for adequate
range, a pathetic exodus to folk
along the Rio Grande.
Curious how moving is the sight
of great herd on the march. At
rest, grazing, they are merely sc
many beeves. RAt. in mass motion
they stir emotions of primal majesty
Their very docility adds to the ef-
feet of high drama.
Creatures of mans dominance, his
meat and milk, in turn dominating
their owners, forced to 60 where
the cattle may Craze, even to the
abandonment of home and exile to
an alien land.
Then in moment, at the smell OF
water, the placid mass converted
into a terrible catapult, wiping out
everything in the path of stampede
including the home of the ncsto,
family whose daughter provides the
love interest-an awesome scene
that, with the girl and her lover
stranded in a sea of tossing horns.
Again, poignant pathos when the
cowhands, after immemorial custom
sing down the herd for the nigh

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO LES.
....-. IIE, ppECCOTT

MY DEAR DAUGHTER:
I'm very much disappointed at
not being able to be with you on
your anniversary, but, Leslie dear,
l am very much worried over your
father. He's not very well, and
since he arrived home his business
cares, because of his long absence,
have doubled and been most .trou-
blesome. He misses Mrs. .Ather-
ton very much: :,r..s. I'D.
Of course the whole house is up
set with preparations for Alice,s
wedding. / wonder if you remem-
Der that ut the time Of your mar
riage she said she was not going to
have big Wedding-that she hated
them. Now, she seemseto be OBJ
sessed with only one idea-that
her wedding is to be. q much lar
ger, much grander, and much more
expensive society event than yours.
Leslie dear, l am very much con-
cerned over Alice's marriage. She
seems to, be so different since she
returned home. She is irritable
and nagging, and she leads poor
Karl such a life that your father
said to me the other day that he
wouldn't blame him if he broke the
engagement. = =. -, -
Her latest notion is that she
does not want to live in America
after she is married. She parti.
cularly detests Pittsburg and you
know how devoted Karl is to his
old home. don't think he was
ever very happy in England. He
just stayed over there because he
had an idea that Alice needed him

The author has in a singular de
