The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-10-15

in an inspiring voice. s'To make a long
story as short as possible, this movie is a
real-a real epoch in the life OF our city.
1t shows first in a creating sweeping. epic
a picture Of what 1 may call an epic OF
our pioneer days when our grandfathers
and grandmOthers jOked up their oxen and
came over here frOm-frOm EurOpe-l0ok-
ing for gold!'
He seemed to realize that there was SOM
slight inaccuracy in his last observation,
but as there was a burst of applause from
a line of old, deaf, white haired people In
the middle Of the house he let it pass
and now turned to those without whose
efforts this picture could never have been
made. He wanted to thank first or all the
splendid spirit Of every one who partict-
pated. This spirit had convinced Mr.. Blue
Ribbon that New Heidel berg could act
as a unit. Next he turned to that distin-
guished director, Mr.. DecOurcey OHey.
After constant triumphs in Hollywood Mr..
O'Ney had come here because he had heard
Of the splendid spirits of the inhabitants.
Mr.. O'Ney. MI. O'Ney, on being located,
stood up and bowed. 1t was afterwards
remarked by those nearest him that he
glanced somewhat %nervously around and
that his eyes fell with most approval
upon the red exit lamps over the doors.
"Then," continued Mr.. Blue Ribbon, and
this was true magnanimity, let us not
forget the young lady VINO was CHOSEN
by public acclaim as the fairest in our
city and who adOrns this work OF art with
her graces-Miss Grace AxelrOd-Our own
Movie Queen!"
There was a storm of applause. Oracle
stood up, bowed, and then sat down quick
" u~ttering a subdued irOnic sound.
Mr.. Blue Ribbon rambled on for some
moments. Finally he ceased with a benign
smile, and, bObbing off the stage, took his
seat down in front. TIL house grew dark,
the orchestra struck up the national an
them and the silver triangle appeared upon
the blue screen.
NEW HEIDELBERG, THE FLOWERY
CITY OF THE MIDDLE WEST.
The preliminary titles were all as before.
The wagons set off on their journey to
Outbursts Of applause as the passengers
were recognized by proud relatives and
friends.
Then. to the surprise of those who had
witnessed the private showing a brand new
MISS GRACE AXELROD
CHOSEN BY EVERYBODY IN THE CITY
TO BE QUEEN AMI STAR OF
THE PICTURE
A PIONEER GIRL-MISS AXELROD
Mr.. Blue Ribbon gasped family. The
audience, unconscious Of a change, applaud
Here we're the Indians now, shading their
eyes with their hands and beginning their
immemOrial tactics of riding around their
prey in cOncentric. The battle began, the
wagon train was brought to a stop, the
bed1am Of blank cartridges was so real
as to be almost audible. Clapping broke out
A title:
WHEN THE WHITE PEOPLE WERE
GETTING BEATEN MISS GRACE AXEL-
ROD, THE CITY'S QUEEN, SHOOTS III
INDIAN CHIEF WITH A GUN SHE GOT
The applause which greeted this was
punctuated with an occasional gasp anC
somebody snickered. But the action which
followed was even more curious. 1t showed
! Miss AxelrOd Snatching a rifle from some
one who leapt quickly out of the picture
but who gave the undeniable impression
Of having been a young man in a derby
hat. Miss AxelrOd knelt and fired tn
gun in the direction Of a telegraph poll
which had sprung up suddenly on tn
prairie. There followed a scene, so shOr
) man falling down. This was obviously tn
= Indian chief shot by Miss Axelrod, bu
p again the realiSts in the audience perceiv
ed that the abOrigine, though he wOr
feathers in his hair, was dressed in mOderl
trousers rolled up above modern carriers
This time a long estrained litter brOk
out, but the audience was still far frOI
the suspicion that this was not the fill
: as originally planned.
AS THE INDIANS WERE NOT YE'
BEATEN OFF. BY MISS GRACE AXEL
. RODS TTACK, SHE SHOOTS THE Sc
COND IN COMMAND AND THUS o
s PLETES THEIR DISMAY.
The shooting Of the second in cOmman
was remarkably like the shooting Of tn
chief. There was the lean telegraph pole i
the distance, and there was the begartere
Sioux who in the next flash fell to tn
ground. The resemblance indicated tbs
the second in command might be the chief
twin brother.
The whispering had now tbickened to
buzz and a suspicion was abroad thu
something had gone awry.
On the screen, however, the action ha
