Staging the Buffalo Hunt
In THE Covered Wagon"

Among the wonders of THE Gov
cred Wagon" to be shown at the Au-
gusta Opera house Wednesday and
Thursday is how in the world an
American bison hunt could be staged
III this day and generation. Certain
ly there aren't enough of the nearly
extinct animals in the few private
preserves or Zoos, nor would their
use be permitted. But James Cruze
the director remembered hearing OF
buffaloes on Il big barren island is
miles out in salt Lake. So he pro-
ceeded 10 investigate and discovered
that n firm known as the Buffalo
Live Stock Corporation owned the
shaggy beasts and for Il consideration
was willing to let them he used for
the picture.
The spectacle OF charging wild
buffalo is 4 sight not soon to be for
gotten. They have a bad eye. Also
they are evil tempered and they seem
TO dislike horses and men especially.
They can Outrun n horse mp hill
They arc quick as eats and can turn
on n circle. If they get headed in
one direction, nothing can stop them
So the big problem that confronted
Cruze was to get them to run before
the camera.
Cowboys drove the buffalo in herds
of hundred or SO across the noun
tain and down into the level plain
where the bulkhcad for the cameras
chad been erected. Sometimes punch
ers would spill them" which means
that the herd would split and part
would take their own course, gen.
orally up hill again. The calves ran
beside their mothers, as fast as the
old ones. Three or four days were
consumed in this way, but finally
they got big bunch to run past. and
during this the actors-J. Warren
kerrigan. who has the male lead;
FULLY Marshall as Jim Bridgcr. an
other historical old scout: Ernest
Terrence as Jackson. took after them.
Thus the hunt was filmed. Thrills ?
Well, take all the wild west shows
and combine them an YOU get some
idea of what ii was like. Work
Those actors never worked so hard
in their lives before and never will
again-for they don't make pictures
like this more than once in n life
time. And it was hotter than the
