GIRL Is
DE MILES new
DISCOVERY

The dream of young America
has come true for g. little South
ern girl.
In the belief that he has made
the greatest screen find Of years. i
Cecil B. DeMille, producer of
THE Ten Commandments" and
the man who brought to film
fame such stars as Gloria Swan
son, Belize Daniels, Agnes Ayres
and Leatrice JOY, has engaged
Vera Reynolds, nineteen, petite
and the personification of the
1924 flapper,>to play the feminine
lead in his next big Paramount
picture. Feet of Clay"
So enthusiastic Is Mr.. DeAIilie
over his discovery that he is
planning to give Miss Reynolds
an elaborate campaign Of ,ex-
ploitation in this picture and
every opportunity to develop into
one Of the screens foremost
stars.
II think Miss Reynolds is the
screen discovery of years. said
Mr.. DeMille this week before
leaving for Catalina Island with
his company to film the opening
scenes of Feet of Clay" She,
more than any other player I
know, typifies the girl of 1921
the flapper grown up. Her role
in Feet of Clay might, be a mir
ror reflection of Miss Reynolds
herself petite, beautiful, assured.
Because of her personification
of the prevailing feminine type
Of today l firmly believe she has
a wonderful chance to rise to
the heights of screen stardom
with the same rapidity that char
acferized the careers of Gloria
Swanson, Bebe Daniels; Agnes
Ayres, and Leatrice Joy and
other young women whom 1t was
my privilege to develop into
screen luminaries."
Vera Reynolds was born in
Richmond, Va, nineteen years
ago, and at an early age moved
with her parents to Los Angeles.
She is five feet one inch tall,
weighs 102 pounds and has brown
hair and hazel eyes. She already
has played small parts in four
Paramount Pictures, "Icebound.''

Vera Reynolds is wondering
what 1t is all about. A few
months ago she was lucky to get
her name mentioned in, the cast.
Suddenly Cecil B. DeMille has
picked her for the part Of leading

nineteen she finds herself at the
point where Mr.. DeMille started

WANTS CONTRACT TO
DRIVE KAIBAB DEER
THIS SIDE OF CANYON

George Mccormick Of Flagstaff is
trying to interest State Game Warden
Willard and others who have game
conservation at heart in a plan he
has for driving several thousand OF
the surplus deer from the Kaibab
region north of Grand Canyon across
to this side, where we have plenty Of
room and forage.
Mccormick offers to bring them to
this side for $3.50 head, and says he
doesn't want a cent on the proposition
until after he has them down here
Ideas similar to this had occurred
to numerous people. Even the Wash
ington authorities, it is reported in
late news dispatches, are now offer
ing to crate the deer and give them
to people east of this mountain re-
gion who will pay the freight.
The idea of herding and driving
the deer to new range was not given
much attention by those who thought
of it because they didn't know how
an organization could be perfected to
do the work. But Mccormick, who
has others who believe as he does
lined up to help him in the undertake
ing, says that he will do the organic
ing and that he can easily turn the
trick.
Mccormick knows every foot of the
country over there He also knows
where the deer can be trailed into the
canyon to the Colorado river Swim
ming that, he knows where they can
be trailed up this side.
1t will be no harder to herd and
drive these deer, Mccormick says,
than to round up and drive range
cattle. The deer, not having been
hunted, are comparatively tame and
from curiosity venture as near people
as most range cattle do. A wild range
cow on the rampage is likely to be q
dangerous proposition. Not SO deer.
1t would seem better, if Mccormick
can get contract from the state or
government to bring four or five
thousand of the deer to this side of
the canyon, to have him do it rather
than to thin the deer by any other
means. Several thousand shipped out
by freight. as now proposed by the
government, are lost to game conser-

walton, especially as far as this state
is concerned. If they were brought
over into COconino and Mohave coun-
ties, many of them to scatter from
these counties all over this state, it
would, with our game conservation
laws, insure ample deer hunting for
many years. Then when the need for
thinning again occurs on the Kaibab,
if we then need more deer here, an
other lot could be brought over.
This would mean great deal to
the country this side of the canyon.
1t would afford better hunting in
season. Deer in our forests in such
numbers as to make them frequently
seen by visitors would add greatly to
the attractiveness of the forests to
ourists.-Coconino Sun.
