The photoplay makes real the story of early Indian territory life and the Oklahoma land rushes. The cinema drama depicts the pass- ing of “America’s last frontler,” the evolution of a new country from 1889 to 1830; the social revolution of the five civilized tribes of In- dians; the magic discovery of oil that enriched the Osage; and the emotional relationship between Yancey Cravat, picturesque but im- provident attorney-editor and his finely bred, southern wife, Sabra. These two roles are played by Rich- ard Dix and Miss Irene Dunne, Many of the scenes were filmed in Cklahoma. Oothers were made at a ranch, in oil fields near Ven- ice, Cal, and near Inglewood, Cal. Locale of Land Rushes At the latter place the. dynamic land rushes were staged. Five thou- sand “extras” and 3500 horses and mules were used during the three days required to photograph this highlight. The scenes were photographed in number. Painstaking preparations were made for the filming of the pie- ture. [Every step in the .produc- tion was marked with unusual in- telligence and care. Month On Adaptation The task of producing the theme on the screen with absolute fidelity to the book, made it necessary for Louis Sarecky, associate producer; Wesley Ruggles, director; Mr. Dix from the alr, moving trucks, sta- | tionary and buried cameras—thirty | Cinema Version of Edna Ferber's Best Seller Novel De- picts Epic Scenes of Settlement and Development of ;“Last of the Duanes” Will Last Great Frontier in States with Thread of Charm- ing Romance Interwoven. and Howard Estabrook, scenarist, to spend nearly three months on the adaptation. When the script was ready, the Radio Pictures property department spent months assembling material before a camera crank could be turned. The thousands of horses and mules were gathered from all parts of the country including Mexico and Canada. One thousand and fifty vehicles of the type in use before the “horseless carriage” made its appearance were pro- cured in out-of-the-way places of the United States. Old Photographs Collected Research parties went into the interior of Oklahoma, the locale of the story, and collected old photo- graphs, furniture and special | “props.” { ' Then the production and location | departments created two life-sized | replicas of early Oklahoma towns at Radio Pictures’ ranch, built cor- | rals, reared buildings and tents to | house 750 teamsters and supervised the installation of light and wa- ter mains. All this consumed sev- eral months’ time. In the meantime, Director Rug- gles and his staff made extensive screen tests for the 33 leading char- acters of the book. Altheugh Mr. Dix was chosen as the star before the book was purchased, almost 50 leading stage and screen actresses AT COLISEUM Begin Its Engagement Tonight | George O'Brien, athletic and hand- isome young screen actor has a new ileading lady in “Last of the Du- anes,” the Fox Movietone romance {of the Southwest, which opens its engagement at the Coliseum the- atre tonight. She is Lucile Browne, petite and beautiful blonde, recent- ly recruited from the New York speaking stage. The combination is a happy one, both O'Brien and Miss Browne be- ing well suited to their roles. Others In Cast Myrna Loy and Walter McGrail portray the other featured charac- ters and James Bradbury, Jr., Lloyd Ingraham, Nat Pendleton, Frank ‘Campeau, Blanche Friderici, James Mason and Willard Robertson ap- pear in the supporting roles, Hundreds of extras, herds of cat- tle and many horses lend atmos- phere to the production which was filmed and recorded in the wide open spaces of Arizona, famous for its beautiful and picturesque scenery. The story was adapted from Zane Grey's widely read novel of the same name by Ernest Pascal and is the first of the Fox Movietone “Great Outdoor Romances.” Romance and Excitement It deals with the romantic and exciting adventures of Buck Duane, handsome young rancher, who be- comes an outlaw after he has kill- tale of the great South- west where cattle steal- ing bad men play a ' game of quick gun- slay and shy love mak- icture e at Kenai, Kasilof, Ninilchik, Hom- er, Seldovia, Port Chatham and Seward, and returning from Sew- ard via Port Chatham, Iliamna, ed his father's cowardly assassin. Buck later wins his pardon as well as the heart and hand of a beauti- ful girl, by aiding in the extermi- nation of a daring and ruthless band of cattle rustlers and killers. The play was directed by Al- fred L. Werker, prominent for his many “Westerns” for the late Fred were ‘tested before Miss Dunne was chosen for the part of Sabra.
