without which the tribes would perish. The Chief gives the order and the entire tribe sets out on its semi-annual pilgrimage for — life.
Coming to a swirling glacial river which must be crossed, they blow up goat skins, tie them together and make rafts. The women folk, with tents, goats and a great conglomeration of belongings, climb aboard the rafts, each with two men furiously paddling at its bow.
Then the flocks and herds are dragged or driven into the water, until the current seizes them and they are swept off to swim or be sucked under. Soon the scene is one continuous procession of rafts and dots — each dot the head of some struggling or drowning animal. No more stirring sight has ever been seen by human eyes.
Through barren countries without trails, up heart-breaking mountains, the barefooted and poorly clad men, knee-deep in snow and ice, break trails for tlie older people and the very young.
This is not fiction, not the re-enacting of a historical event, but the actual breath-taking struggle itself.
In all the world, only three white people have ever seen this marvelous depiction of elemental life and mighty courage. Here are 50,000 natives and 500,000 cattle — struggling, fighting for their very existence.
For 48 days the fight continues, until finally reaching the top of the last mountain, the tribe see belov/ them the fertile plains covered with life-giving grass.
The most unusual picture ever made and one that holds the audience spellbound to the very end.

8153 Code SSKO Hands Up Paramount
Featuring Raymond Griffith, Montagu Love, Marion Nixon, Virginia Lee Corbin and Mack Swain
Raymond Griffith plays the role of the hero, a Confederate spy. His general tells him he must go west to Virginia City, the source of the Union's war finances, and divert the next wagon train of gold to the South.
His experiences en route to the western city are exciting and varied, as he becomes the central figure in holdups, Indian battles and love affairs. He falls in love with two sisters, a brunette and a blonde, each of whom also falls in love with him. It is a surprising triangle, but not difficult for the clever lover.
In obtaining the gold, Griffith is arrested for highway robbery. He reveals his identity as a member of the Confederate Army, expecting to be held merely as a prisoner of war. He is then informed that the war is over and that he is just a common robber. As he is about to make a quick exit from this world through hasty western justice, the girls save him.
The picture is full of hilarious situations. Griffith will make you laugh, chuckle, grin and roar. An original story, with a combination of Civil War and western backgrounds, in which Griffith's rip-roaring adventures as a Confederate spy seem to prove that Sherman was wrong about war.
Recommended for any audience. A picture you should not miss. 1955 feet — on 5 reels ' Rental $5.00
