ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOMES

Hundreds of people waited for nearly six hours to see, for one fleeting moment, ten full-blooded Red Indians, who arrived at Sydney by the Sierra from San Franci-seo on Wednesday last. They were brought out by the Lasky Film Service, Ltd., to play in the prologue in '"The Vanishing Race,' , a motion picture depicting the extinction of various Red Indian tribes. These Indians actfM. in "The Vanishing Race," and one of the youngest of them, Kasja Manheimer, plays a leading part in his own name. The party comprised also Roy Dee, Frank Seumptowa. Charley Felwepe, Erl Numkena, Sikia Omeyona, Leonord Manheimer, Amelia Dee, an Indian squaw, and her two children, five and three years old respectively, and Mr. Hugh Smith, an official of the United States Government. He will watch over the Indians, who in America are a carefully guarded people. Though they have been enthusiastically welcomed at every poit on the way to Australia the visitors were astonished at the reception accorded them in .Sydney.
