During the filming of "Nan of Music Mountain,” which is his newest Paramount picture, Wallace Reid was supposed to be shot in the leg. That was not the worst of it, however, for the handsome hero of the script had to crawl from his horse, from which he had fallen, to a near-by spring, in which he placed his injured leg. Next he fainted and was supposed to stay in that position with his foot and leg in the ice cold water for several days. Of course "Wally” really didn’t, but he declared he felt as if he'd been there a week, for the waters of the beautiful Sierra Nevadas, where the picture was made, are nothing if not frigid. "Nan of Music Mountain” is to be shown at the Theatre on WESTERN DRAMA STARRING WALLACE REID AT THE THEATRE Popular Wallace Reid, who has recently created a notable success with Geraldine Farrar in her Aztec Indian production, "The Woman God Forgot,” is to be seen at the Theatre in "Nan of Music Moun tain,” a Paramount picture. This is a western drama, being the thrilling tale of a man who started out to avenge his father’s murder. How he is turned from his purpose and made to forget the hatred in his heart through the love of Nan, makes a photoplay that is interesting as well as picturesque. Frank H. Spearman, author of the popular novel, "Nan of Music Mountain,” which recently scored a signal success in "Everybody’s Magazine," and which has been porduced in photoplay form by Director George Melford of Paramount, had the satisfaction personally of watching the transformation to screen form. Unlike many authors whose works have been transferred to the screen, Mr. Spearman expresses himself as thoroughly satisfied and indeed gratified with the manner in which his story has been visualized. This, he believes, is due partially to the efforts of Beulah Marie Dix, who wrote the screen version, and partially to Director Melford. "Nan of Music Mountain" will be shown in this city for the first time at the Theatre on The popular novel, "Nan of Music Mountain," by Frank H. Spearman, which recently appeared in Everybody’s Magazine, has been filmed by Director George Melford of Paramount, and is to be shown at the Theatre on As will be remembered, this is one of the most vivid and thrilling of modern western dramas.
