MASSACRE OF.
CUSTER BASIS
FOR PICTURE
All Details of Great Battle.
Scene Reproduced in Show
to Be at Capitol

"The Flaming Frontier" an Ed
ward Sedgwick- Universal Production
that is coming to the Capitol theatre
commencing Monday, with an all-star
cast. is an historic picture Of the
making of the West that carries with,
it thrills and real heart interest,
that make of it a screen production
long to be remembered. Based on
the Custer massacre it has for it's
background the winning of the West;
with the. never-failing appeal to the,
imagination that this epoch carries,
while through it runs as pretty and,
as gripping love story as has ever
been written.
"Thc Flaming Frontier" takes the,
audience back to some ten years aft
er the Civil War. General IT, S..
Grant is president. Out in the far
West, beyond the Mississippi River,
veterans of the Union and Confed-
crate armies, with their families, are
steadily pushing their way toward
the Pacific, their path barred by the
Indians who resentfully see their
great hunting grounds disappearing
forever. Here and there. scattered
army posts seek to, protect, the on
ward march Of civilization. And While

ington group of white men, sena-
tors, and business men, are fattening
their banks accounts by supplying the
Indians with whisky, rifles and ans
munition with which to slaughter the
settlers, while corrupt Indian agents
| are selling to the settlers the reser-
walton lands of the red men. -I
Among the most daring Of the
pony express riders of those days
was Bob Langdon, the character
played by Hoot Gibson. A great
horseman, splendid shot and full
of courage, LangdonIis proud to call
Gen. George A. Custer his best
friend. Incidentally Dustin Farnum
was induced to come out of his re-
tircment to impersonate the .charac-
ter Of Custer. Through Clusters aid
young Langdon is appointed to West
Point by Senator Stanwood. Lang

Sioux in the battle of the Little Big
Horn on June Is, 1876. The escape
Of LanRdon is historically correct as
are all the other details Of the great
battle scene. A climax such as hal

'"The Flaming, Frontier" was di

WASHINGTON, May 3. P)-The
 pocket book pinch formerly felt by American women when the old ful coat simply would not stand another outing without feeling of despair has been countered with a rabbit punch" by furriers and the Federal Biology Survey.
 Use of rabbit fur in initiating more expensive pelts of disappearing fur bearing animals is increasing steadi- ly, experts say, and making possible purchases which women formerly were hesitant to make because ot prohibitive prices.
 Rabbit fur, biologists declared in a report, "lends itself readily to imi. tation processes, and American fur dressers and dyerS have mastered so we'll the art of initiating other furs by modern methods of plucking, shearing and dying that the pelt of the rabbit is being offered for sale under a variety of trade names and in many instances is replacing such costly and attractive skins as ermine, seal, beaver and leopard"
 More than 1O0,0OO,OOO rabbit skins are utilized annually, the report says About 55,O00,000 are dressed and dyed, being made into fur garments and trimming for women's coats. suits and dresses. Skins not suita- ble for garments are used as Innings for gloves and in the manufacture of felt
 Ninety-eight per cent of the skins valued at about s25,Ooo,OOO is import ed from other countries.
 Pelts of the wild cottontail and jack rabbit are said to be of practi- cally no use to furriers because of their thinness and poor quality. Every domestic rabbit skin, however, except that of the Angora, has com fur value, regardless of size or color, the biologists say
