Abe Lincoln In Illinois Produced
Primarily For Entertainment

The play is a topic of talk
wherever people gather. Much of
the conversation is an effort to de-
termine how much of the play is
fact and how much is dramatic
license.
Sherwood in writing, and the
Playwrights' Company in produc-
ing ABE Lincoln In Illinois" have
been more concerned In re-creat-
ing the spirit Of Lincoln and in
good theater than in re-counting
history. That they have succeeded,
there Is not the shadow of doubt.
Raymond Massey in ABE Lincoln

the theater at its very best. 1t has

Edison S Works
Shown in Film
First Telegraph Key
Used By Mickey

A replica Of the first telegraph
key Thomas A. Edison ever made
was constructed by the property
department at Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer for use in Young Tom
Edison" starring Mickey Rooney,
and now playing at the Music Box
theater.
Duplication of the key to the
minutest detail was made possible
because this crude instrument,
built by Edison in 1860 when he
was a boy, is preserved among the
Edisoniana at Greenfield Village.
Dearborn, Mich. Measurements
and actual size photographs of the
key were made by the studio. The
story of Young Tom Edison
starts in 1860, the same year the
inventor made it.
The base of the instrument is
hand-whittled. Edison repeatedly
remarked, ITO become a good in
ventor, you must first know how
to use a jackknife.
The cast of Young Tom Edison"
includes Fay BANTER. George Ban
croft, Virginia Weidler and Eugene
Palette. Norman Taurog directed.

Montana Indian Tribes
Hold Meeting Here

On Sunday, July 9Th a meeting
was held at the Browning Indian
encampment ground which may
have historic significance. 1t
was a meeting called for the pur-
pose of organizing a state. wide
association of Indians. Of the
six Montana tribes four were re-
presented these being the Black
feet. Fork Peck, Fort Belknap
and Crow Indians. There were
no representatives from the Flat
head or Rocky Boy reservations.
A temporary organization was
perfected and plans were made
for convention of Montana In
dians to be held some time in the
month of August. The exact
date and the place of the conven-
ton will be announced later. As
officers of the Association three
Blackfeet were chosen. These
are Phil Aubrey chairman. Leo

ST. Marys Indian Museum
Attracts Many Tourists

The Blackfeet Indian Museum
located at St. Mary's. 33 miles
northwest of Browning, has
created a great deal of interest
and comment among tourists
Our museum is housed in an
original Blackfeet teepee. The
display consists of war bundles,
ancient pipes. medicine bundles,
hatchets. hammers, kettles, cost
umes of different designs, head
dresses. back rests, tripods, and
many other furnishings, wearing
apparel and equipment; much of
which is no longer used by the
Blackfeet, with the exception of
ceremonial rites.
At the presnt time, to be exact
25 days. 1853 tourists have visited
our museum. Many of these
persons have read of the west,
of the Blackfeet Indians, of their
customs. habits. dress, and sur
roundings which they knew and
loved long before the coming of
the white man. They are now
able to see many of the things
which have caused controversy,
debates. yes. and in some cases.
changed legislation.
We can truly say our museum
has added a dash of color for the
many tourists who have visited
Glacier National Park.
This museum is co.sponsored
by the Blackfeet Indian Agency
and the Blackfeet Indian Craft

buffalo on the Island.
Because Wild Horse Island
comprises about 4 square miles
and is in part heavily timbered,
and because the Island is in full
view of the Mission Range and
other heavily tim bered mountains
around Flathead Lake, the CON-
pletion of the telephone was well
coined by the Forest Service and
Indian Service on account of the
fire protection it would afford,
not only for timber on the Island
but it enables the dude ranch to
serve as a fire lookout for the
mountains adjacent to the Lake.
