American could not be written. The
scenes are laid ln tho Ozark Moun
tains a part of the United States which
may be said to have been discovered
by Harold Bell Wright, as It Is a re
gion little known to the average per
son beyond those ln tha Immediate
vicinity, before tho advent of the
"Shepherd of the Hills." It has since
become a national vacation ground,
visited by thousands of tourists every
year, a casual visit mere showeu jur.

in that country. This story is now
known ln every land, and any one
who has read the booc can immediate

could be shown in pictures. Tlie pic
turesque and sturdy mountaineers are
faithfully portrayed, and the scenic
back-ground is lavish In Its display

of the book lend themselves admirably

A discussion has arisen between

Is an adaptation of the personality of
