In Epic OF The Mounted

see,,rs and the like. and a murder
some group if there ever was one.
The revolt of the Metis, as a matter
of record, amounted to a Civil War
which almost rent Canada asunder,
and might have if it had not been
for the courage of five hundred loyal
Mounted Police.
Uprising Starts
Unfoldment of the narrative based
on this revolt starts as n might
therefore expect with the organiza-
ton of the Metis under three leaders,
Duroc (Tamiroff), Corbeau George
B~ancroft), and Riel (Francis Melon
ald). When word reaches the Mount
ed that the Metis are organizing at
Batoche, two Policemen, Sergeant
Jim Brett (Foster) and Ronnie Lo-
gan (Preston) are sent to invest1'
gate.
Brett receives the Metis' dems nds,
and when his life is threatened by
the Metis, Ronnie's sister, April GEAR
rolD. nurse at the settlement, comes
to the rescue by announcing the
birth of a son to one OF the half
breeds. During this scene, it IS also
established that Brett is in love with
April, while Ronnie is interested in
Louvette, Indian girl who is about
as tame as a wildcat, and who is Cor
beau's daughter.
Greater impetus is provided for
