Stormy Is Epic
Of Desert Land

The much heralded STORMY" is
the current attraction at the New
Deal theatre Friday and Sunday,
and to say that it is everything
and more than this reviewer eX-
pected is to put it mildly indeed.
The entire picture was made on
location in the Painted Desert, Oak
Greek canyon and other beautiful
spots in Arizona, and the result is
film that leaves one gasping with
admiration.
Noah Berry, Jr., does a brilliant
characterization in the titla role
of STORMY; Jean Rcgy y,
blonde and quite enchaF so
delivers sterling performance in
the feminine lead. A newcomer to
pictures this Boston beauty contest
winner has taken a big step toward
the top in this one film.
Rex, the king of wild horses,
seems more wildly beautiful and
!untamed than ever. But the real
hit Of the picture is his seven
weeks old colt. Brought in wild
from the range, it is obvious that
he has been permitted to act him
self, and the result is scenes that
will tug at the heartstrings of all.
The Arizona Wranglers, seven
frontiersmen we'll known to radio
fans, work as actors in the picture
and offer an attractive interlude
of several numbers. Their musical
appearances are skillfully worked
into the story and are a distinct
treat.
A spectacular highlight Of the
film is a sensational stampede of
1900 wild horses. 1t is without
doubt the greatest herd of horses
ever seen in picture, and their
stampede is thrilling, smashing
sequence that will leave any audi
ence gasping.

locked it, but before he returned

U.S.. Offer
Comes Late

The new policy of the depart
ment Of the interior, under which
the American Indian would be re-
stored to tribal life on reservations,
is opposed by many chiefs, accord
ing to Little White Buffalo, chief
of the Winnebagos and Indian au-
thority.
The main difficulty is not that
the Indians would not prefer
tribal form of life to their present
existence as wards Of the govern
ment, but rather that the change
has come too late. The Indians
spirit has become dulled and many
of them have forgotten their In
dian ways.
For more than 100 years the
government has tried to "civilize"
the Red Man. Whe nit became APP
parent that the Indian could not
be civilized, the government
adopted policy of trying to wean
the younger Indian children away
from their tribal habitism, letting
the older ones live as they wished.
Only the gradual assimilation of
the Red Man into the white race
would end the Indian "problem,"
it was believed.
Then recently came that about
face policy of the government. 1t
was discovered that the chiefs were
losing their hold on their people
the traditions, arts and handiwork
of the Red Man were dying out.
These the government declared
should be preserved.
The man most bitterly opposing
the new plan is Joe Bruner, or Ok
Tay All Che Chic, chief Of the
Chickasaws and head of the Cher
okee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw
and Seminole alliance. Bruner is
antagonistic because he believes
his people do not want to retro
grade to their tribal customs. eve
cannoc go back to our old customs
now The buffalo, deer and ante
lope, upon which the Indian lived
in his native state, are gone. If
you put him on reservation he
will merely be farmer, and he
is that now"
eff the Indian traditions and
customs can be made to survive,
then they will have to survive just
as the traditions of other peoples
have survived. They will have to
be kept alive by the Indians them
selves. If the government wants
to help the Indians now, let it give
to each who is the head of fam
lily a small grant of fertile land tax
free, so he can live as a free man.
Once you put him back on a reser-
vation his spirit is broken and he
is no longer the same"
Allied with Bruner are the host
of people with mixed Indian blood,
who have enough claim to being
Indian to draw some benefits from
the government, but who are com
plete strangers to the Indian Gus
toms and traditions.
Many of the Indians presented
their plan to return them to reser-
vations, where they would live
after their own fashion. The
Osages approved it. They would
receive their property tax. free and
would lose nothing. The other
tribes, however-the Chippewas,
Choctaws, Creeks and Cherokees-
were thrown into turmoil. If they
accepted the plan. those of them
who had been successful in living
among white men would have to
give up their property to the tribe,
sharing it with those who had lost
all they had. This they were I'M
willing to do.
