The dynamiting of a cliff which caused thousands of tons of rock and debris to fall 1000 feet is one of the most spectacular scenes of "To The Last Man," a Paramount picture- coming to the Queen's Theatre on Friday. Five cameras photographed the explosion from different angles, the cameramen remaining at their posts until the. last moment before running for shelter from falling stones. The race of thfe famous "Rim" was blown away by.the force of fifty pounds of exploding dynamite, and hundreds of trees were carried down in the crash. The explosion, is a sequence in the picture showing the wiping out of a band of cattlemen -by cattle thieves. The avalanche closes the entrance to a canyon and kills all but* one member of the band. "To The Last Man" ..is' a Zane Grey production based on the author's famous .story of the Pleasant Valley War, a feud of the late 'eighties, which was fought out literally to the last man. The historic sites, of these battles were filmed in making the picture. Besides Richard Dix and Lois Wilson, the principal players are Noah Beery, Robert Edeson, and Frank Campeau. The supporting film subjects include,the latest Gazettes, Burton Holmes Travelogue,. and Paramount comedy. The increased Queen's Grand Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. A.' H. Jerome, will render a specially-selected programme of incidental music. The box plan is at The Bristol.
