MASSACRE

At The Alhambra

42

This Alig at the Alhambra is having a very good run. There is nothing to be desired in the ac- ting, which stars Richard Bartel- mess and-Ann Dvorak

This story shows the massacre of the Indian, not by guns and bullets, but through the commis- sioners appointed by the Federal Government to look after the re- servations. If the scenes depicted are true to life, then We have again here one of those extraor- dibary Aims in which the Ameri- cans delight, in criticising their. administration. There is

graft from the officer in charge of the reservation down to the doctor and the undertaker.

It is to be hoped that the situa- tlon was never so bad 25 this story.
