THE
MAJESTIC
Redskin" is the drama of a race of people, clinging to old traditions yet seeking to adapt themselves to the new. It is the struggle of youth against the cau- tion of age; of youth seeking-re lease from the chains of tribal custom It is the romance of a boy and a girl of rival tribos, separated by generations of ill-feeling between their ancestors, who learn to love and rise above the restrictions of their environment.
Richard Dix plays the leading role, with beautiful Gladys Bel mont, a new-comer to loading parts, opposite him. Dix has a dramatic rále, and the picture is a perfect vehicle for him. Hundreds of Indians appear in the picture and some of them play small parts. The cast contains many well-known names auch an that of Taily Mar- shall.
The colour effects aro marvelously and beautiful. The seenio back- grounds are inspiring and the grip; ping drama is well conceived and particularly well acted. It is a new epic of the American screen.
