AMUSEMENTS. RED OIEX'S •MOTHErR-FN-LAW PROBLEM In "WILD HORSE MESA." At TIVO'LI AND EVERYBODY'S. Never look your son-in-law in the face.- or you will be stricken blind! That's the Navajo Indian belief, Which serves to keep a modicum of i peace in the family, and solves the red man's mother-in-law problem. This superstitious Indian conviction —which might profitably be adopted by the pale-face white races — was learned when the Paramount Company was engaged in filming Zaue Grey's virile Western melodrama, "Wild Horse Mesa," at Red Lake, Arizona, near a Navajo Indian reservation. One of the important episodes in the production called for Indians, and Director George B. Seitz was about ready 'to •-.shoot" when he discovered an Indian squaw in the foreground who persisted iv keeping her face covered. As it was a scene requiring interest if not agitation on the part of all within ramie of the camera. Seitz scut word to the squaw to take the cloth from her face. This she refused to do, and an interpreter was sent for. lie reported that the woman's son-in-law was iv direct line of her vision and she feared to look at him. believing she would be struck blind if she did. The interpreter further convinced the director that it was a timehonoured belief, aud a change of vision was given her. "Wild Horse Mesa" revolves around the attempt of a gang of ■horse thieves to capture several thousand wild horses by stampeding them into a treacherous barbed-wire trap. W'hlrlwind action is the thrilling keynote of the photo-play, which winds up with oue of the most aweinspiring climaxes ever flashed on •the screen—the mad stampede of thousands of wild steeds. " Wild Horse Mesa " represents the new class of Western melodrama. There is the beauty of the untrammelled wilderness, used as a background for amazing feats of daring, the whole produced in a novel and unusual style that will delight you. "WILD HORSE MESA."
