HISTORY AND SOME
INDIAN FIGHTING AT COLONIAL

There are many reasons for being
interested in The Flaming From
tier
1t has a mighty interesting his
torical background and one that
most of us know something about.
1t deals with General Clusters last
stand
1t takes lot of Indians to put this
one on and they have. been splendid
ly handled. They actually act like
l imagine Indians acted when they
put on a certain terrible slaughter
Well, it is good melodrama at that,
done with probably a nice regard to
history.
An effort, has been made anyway,
it seems to, put both brains and his
tory into this movie. AS it stands
now on the screen at the Colonial,
it is more than historical document,
it is interesting and moving enter
tainment.
The greatest trouble with his
torical characters on the screen
generally is that they act more like
ghosts of the past than actual
living characters. The director has
gone beyond this handicap and the
result is that the characters seem
to have living things to do.
OF course your interest will center
upon the big fight--when the In
dams pulled a terrible Tunney upon
General Custer. There is lot of fine
intelligent direction in these scenes
and 1 believe a lot of historical
brains.
The movie brings out the point
that rotten political influences
Pcaused the downfall of Custer, but
the. lesson and assurance is given
that the guilty ones were punished.
But 1 am concerned just now in it's
Value as entertainment. The
Flaming Frontier will hold your
interest and at the same time will
give you something to think about.
This picture will demand attention
1t is more than an Indian picture
or a Western. 1t is big and broad
enough in theme to be called a
movie dealing with vital event in
the history of the country

Taft and Tunney were in New

Sport has certainly taken a deep

hunger for variety; that they are
bored with standardized motion,
The idea is worth a second

Ware, Republican nominee for the
Senate in Pennsylvania. made his
first campaign speech on Saturday
night. He forgot to mention the slush
fund, but told working men how
much money they had to be thank
full for on account Of the tariff and
exhcrted them to sustain the Cool

If President Coolidge had the
proper sense of value, he would tell
Ware, as Woodrow Wilson once told
George Harvey, and with far less
justification, that support from
such quarter is injurious and un.

 Your restaurants and lunch rooms leave much 10 be desired. Your hotels are good and plentiful with good scrvico. Your stores are equal 10 any in the state and the prices are more moderate than in those of your big neighbor.
 Your local papers are bright and newsy and well edited and deserving Of the support of the people of New Britain.
 So all in all, New Britain Is as good as any city in New England and far better than most, in all that make q city q home for contented and enterprising people.
