THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1926. MONROE Screen Fans Loyal, Finds Charles Ray} “No one in the world is so loyal as the screen fan.” This is the rather touching statement of Charles Ray, screen star, who pays a heartfelt tribute to pictureg , far and near, who have proved his friends in time of adversity. “Many people are under the impression that the public is dis- loyal to sereen players,” he says, “especially if financial difficultie. overtake them. “But it is an consolation to know not true. Never in my life have I received so many’ kind letters from sereen fans as now, when I have lost practically every earth- ly possession through a misguided venture into the realm of inde- pendent production. “The letters carry. messages of sineere sympathy that are a won- derful consolation—and that prove that the public is indeed loyal to a fellow who has tried to give his best. The letters ‘don’t ask for photographs—they only say the writers are behind me and_ will Support me in what I do. I can’t} begin to tell how much I appre- ciate it and how much these let- ters inspire me. It’s great to have friends—especia!ly | when you're broke.” During the making of “The Auc- tion Block,” which shows at the Monroe Theatre today, several hundred letters arrived daily at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio: Miss Eleanor Boardman tured with Ray in this Henley picture. The actor’s misfortune arose recently through his independent atiempt to make pictures after his own ideals, which wiped away his entire fortune, He is beginning| all over again, working ‘for a lary to pay off the debts of his ited venture. Hobart TOMORROW AND SATURDAY 1 Navajo Indian Youth In Fine Screen Role It remained for a Navajo In- dian boy, unable to speak or un-| a derstand E) ish, a boy who never attended school a day in the nine years of his life, to play the most important juvenile screen role of | the year. | The remarkable boy complished this feat “The Owl,” one of the Navajos who appear in “The Vanishing American,” Para- mount’s sereen version of Zane Grey’s epic of the red man with Richard Dix as the Indian hero. The picture, which will be shown at the Monroe Theatre tomorrow and Saturday, kept a company of more than 500 persons on the| reservation for four months. Nasja’s success in the role is incredible, in | George B. Seitz, the director of the picture. He was selected be- cause no white boy could have ‘as- sumed the role of an Indian ac- eurately. He is of average size for his age, but is super-humanly strong. He rides like an Arab, , Shoots, traps, cooks and who ac-| is Nasja, 10,000 verything that any other In-| the bombing of the cathedral in || dian boy can do but that most can’t. He has learned a few English phrases, “Och,” which is an ab- breviation of “O.

He and Richard Dix became fast friends. In addition to Dix, Lois Wilson, Noah Beery and Malcolm McGregor are featured players.
