In conjunction with the Initial show
ing here the management of the theater
has arranged for a troupe of Blackfoot
Indians, who are seen in several of the
scenes of the production, to appear in
person in a novelty prolog.
•‘Bob Hampton of Placer" is the biggest
production Neilan has ever attempted on
the screen, first because of the great
dramatic possibilities of the story and
second .because of the great number of
people required to enact the big scenes
of the production. More than 2.000 In
dians, soldiers and others were used in
that part of the picture portraying
General Custer’s last stand against the
Indians. In making these scenes a huge
dirigible was used to obtain the best
pictures of the battle, which covered
more than six square miles.

farm in the West and has many times
flashed under the finishing wire the win
ner over notable competitors.

by the night, so did the creeping shadow of revelation
slowly deepen. Could he reveal the truth and tell her
his real life's status.
