Zane Grey's mighty story Of a
fast dying race, the American Indi-
an, interpreted by such artists as
Richard Dix, Lois Wilson. Noah
Berry and Malcolm McGregor, had it's
initial showing at the Opera House.
Monday. 1t is another epochal Of
fering of the silent drama and aside
from the tense and gripping story
the novelist weaves, there are q
wealth Of, historical scenes depict
ing Indian life for many centuries
back.
In the filming Of the vanishing
American" no greater effort has
been made in the history of moving
pictures. 1t was three years in
preparation and six months in pro-
duction. Some idea of the magni-
tude may be had in the fact that
10000 Indian and 1000 horses APP
pear in the various scenes.
To build up the tremendous theme
one is carried back to prehistoric
times in spectacular scenes that are
absorbingly Interesting, showing how
the Indians overcame thescliff- dwell.
ers, and how, in turn, the coming
OF the Spaniards foretold the pass
ing of the Indian.
In brler, the story is one Of No
phale. a Navajo Indian youth, edu-
Gated among the white people, who is
confronted with the barrier of race
when he falls in love with a lovely
white girl. Returning with a de-
tachment of Indian soldiers from
the war front of Europe, he finds his
tribesmen in rebellion that threat
ems to become grave-a rebellion
against the expressions to which
they are subjected. How he averts
disaster to his people and works out
his own destiny in service to his
race against the conflict of his love
Tor the American girl Is a motif of
stirring nobility. The scope of the
story is tremendous, barking from
the primitive days up to the present
when the race, segregated to reser-
vations, Is windling-thwarted alb
origines who cannot cope with the
might of the mechanical era wrought
by white civilization.
The picture will be shown again
this afternoon and evening and to-
morrow.

knows and loves so well. In pictur-
esque costume she interprets their
story, sings their quaint foiksongs,
and with her violin brings some of
the music that has made Czech COM
posers famous in every land.
