ScCui’cally and photographically the picture is “ a thing of beauty.” A thrilling story of a fnoneei mining town of the West.-in which a girl and a small boy help a man lind himself, is the basis of J.

Mildred Harris, Mitchell Lewis and Torn Santschi. “Frivolous Sal” lias a scenic background the like of which has rarely been the screen in a dramatic production. Rainier National Bark, in North-Western Washington, and the great mini.g region of Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene were chosen as locations. Except for ;« few excursions of scenic photographers, no mot ion picture can.-era has ever- before recorded the majestic beauty of Mount Rainier. Some of the story's most important action akes place in a huge cavern bliat a stream of melting ice has carved out under the famou- Nisqually Glacier, near the bop of Mount Rainier. \mid these marvels of Nature the censely dramatic love story of • Frivolous .Sal.” beautiful girl of the pioneer .lvining .'-anips, and her sweetheart. a stranded actor, has been filmed.
