Through the courtesy of Geor; Marshall, lessee of the Shubert- rick Theater, and the Famous Play ers-Lasky Corporation members of the National Press Club and their families will have the privilege of a private showing of the new film. “The Covered Wagon,” at that the ter on Sunday afternoon, April 13, from 4 to 6 o'clock. The picture, which was adapted to the screen from erson Hough's book of the same title and was pro- | duced under the direction of James Cruze, is said_to be monumental in | conception. Nine states in the far west were combed for locations, b finally Mr. Cruze selected the Baker ranch of 200,000 acres in Nevada owned by Otto Meek. Here he used mora than 1,000 horses, a herd of buffalo, 500 drivers and 150 voke of steers to pull the covered wagons on their epic trip across the wild coun- try in 1848. The country where the picture was staged was untouched by modern life. it is said. There were no _automobiles. no telephones, no telegraph, no trains. In fact, it is one of the few parts of the United States that link directly with the | settling of the great west. A special orchestra of twenty-five pleces will come from New York with the film to furnish its accompanying music. After the entertainment is over there will be a ladies? night at the National Press Club. A special dinner will be served, there will be musical selections and, in addition, some novel surprises aro promised.
