ACTION THRILLER !. F'kIT CARSON" AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE
Jon Hall and lynn Bari Lead Cast in Story of
 Famous Scout

Showing at the Capitol tonight and again Tuesday, will be the thrilling story of frontier life, Kit Carson"
 It was filmed against the spec tacular backdrop that is Monument Valley i'll Kayenta, Arizona, 130 miles from the nearest railroad sta ton. Directed by George B. Seitg. the stellar cast of Kit Carson includes Jon Hall, Lynn Bari, Dana Andrews, Ward Bond and Harold Huber.
 Its action filled story unwinds some of the spectacular episodes in the life of the great American adyenturer who joined forces with John c. Fremont to survey and map the shortest overland route to California, in the days when travel often meant fierce attacks from the Indians and the merciless slaughter of women and children.
 When Producer Small decided on Kayenta as his location site, he sent his aides to consult with the council of five elders who rule the destinies of the Navajo Nation, After they had been informed that hundreds of Indians would be given employment in building the camp, maintaining it and then working as extras in the picture itself. they made the recommendation which was necessary before the superin- tendent from the United States h. dian Service could give his approv- al for the picture to be photo- graphed on the Navajo reservation.
