Page 12 Exhibitors Review Flamin Frontier ESTWARD HO! 1876, and the tide of civilization was still pushing, pushing, pushing — and always towards the West. The copper colored Indians were growing restless and jealous of the ever new encroachments upon their hunting grounds. On the plains, settlers and soldiers were blazing the way for the new civilizations, while back East, in Washington, unscrupulous politicians and profiteers were selling whiskey and arms to the Indians. It was at this period that America first heard of Col. Custer. He sought to bring peace between the new white settlers and the Indians, but this of course, was against the interests of those who sought to capitalize upon these disturbances. That is the background and history which finally led to the world famous fight between Custer and his little band of 400 courageous men against whole hords of fiery Indians, led on by their warrior leader, Chief Sitting Bull. Hoot Gibson as Bob Langdon DOB LANGDON is the cadet who was JD sent right through the entire horde of attacking Indians to get help for the little band of Americans, to whom complete destruction seemed imminent. How he got through the lines will just make one's blood boil with excitement. And that is the story of "The Flaming Frontier," that is soon to be released by Universal Pictures, and have its world premier at the Colony Theatre, New York, to mark the 50th Anniversary of the occasion of Custer's Last Stand. Leading educators and prominent members of patriotic organizations who have had occasion to preview this picture privately, have pronounced it to be one of the greatest of its kind. It is therefore not surprising that Universal plans to make its opening one of the events of the cinema season, coming as it does within the celebration of Laemmle's twentieth anniversary as well. The cast of the picture is really an all star, intermingling such names as Hoot Gibson, Anne Cornwall, Dustin Farnum, Ward Crane, Kathleen Key, Eddie Gribbon, Harry Todd, George Fawcett, Harold Goodwin, Noble Johnson, Charles French and others, and each with a really important part to play. Edward Sedgwick, who directed "Lorraine of the Lyons," "Let 'Er Buck," "Broadway or Bust" and others directed this epic of the growth of Americanization.
