The Long Trail, Thrilling Indian Pic- ture. In the strong drama of the far north entitled Tha Long Trail, which is the title of the feature picture of the Breed theater for today, there is a beautiful story of sensationalism, love and sacrifice, many of the incidents oc- curring in a blinding snowstorm. There i: no attempt at overdrawn ideas of the great land of snow, but true sit- uations presenting one of the best film stories issued by the Breed theater. An cld Indian trapper is killed by a rene- gade and the murderer is pursued sum- | mer and winter and finally, after seemingly unsurmountable obstacles have been overcome, the villain is cap- turad and brought back to the post for punishment. Interwoven with the main ircidents is the very beautiful and touching story of Natoocha, daughter of the Indian killed by the renegade, v hose devotion and gratitude to the avengers of her father form a theme of heart interest. Splendid comedy is supplied by three excellent subjects, included among them being the excruciatingly funny Biograph story of The Midnight Cupid. This company of incomparable actors are to be seen in this film in most congenial parts and the audience is kept in an uproar all of the time the picture is on the screen. Miss Hampton sings the two pretty illustrated songe, The Star, the Rose, | the Dream, and Whare Are the Scene; of Yesterday?
