banks, ir. have the roles of proml-
nence The story was scenarized by

B. Seitz and filmed in the wild horse
country of Arizona.
wild Horse Mesa" is described as
seven reels of smashing, hair-raising
action without a punchleSS scene in
its entire length and tinctured through
out by a love appeal. 1t is a revela-
ton of the methods by which immense
bands of wild horses were rounded up
in the American Southwest years ago

daring and often unscrupulous plains

story is the effort to capture a mag
nificent stallion. which settles the ri
valry of two brothers for the same
girl, and which eventually results in
the release of the magnificent animal
at the girls request.
Among the outstanding thrills is
the pursuit of the hero by three horse
thieves, which forces him to leap from
high cliff into a Swiftly-running
river; a fight scene between the hero
and one of the villains, hair-raising
episode, and another scene in which an
Indian chief avenges the death of his
daughter at the hands of renegade
whites and reScues the heroine from
their clutches. The crowning episode.

thousands of horses down the canyon

ton.
