The result was that. not only did he produce a splendid picture but that the Rockies sprang into instant popularity as a setting for northern dramas. Since then scores of other “super- films" have been produced and many villains have paid the penalty 0f their foul deeds. many modest maid- ens have yielded to the. wooing Of stronz, silent men: many danntless heroes have faced the nameless ter- rors of the Alaskan wilds, on the UDU Vb “V --.-‘.â€"--“-- pm‘xcefnl shores of Eménnid'Lake and the innocent highway between Banff and Windermere. Amen: the most notable pictures screened entirely or in part. with the Rockies for a backszround. are “Bank to God's (‘nuntry'fi “The River’s End". “The Alaskan", “Empty Hands", “The Sky Pilot”, “Glen- :rarry Schooldays'., “The Man From GIonzarry". “The Valley of Silent Men” “Frivolous Sal". “Stronghurt” and “The Foreigner”. The chances are. then. that when you sit in your favorite movie house and gaze in silent admiration on the forbidding beauty of Alaska, the hills of Shasta or the still Sierras, you are, in reality, gazing at some- thing far nearer home. not nearly so forbidding and infinitely more beau- tifulâ€"the Rocky Mountains them- selves.
