WHITE RIVER FRONTIER DAYS
AUGUST 12, 13, 14.
White River Frontier Days, that
famous Frontier Show in western
South Dakota will be given for the
thirteenth time on August 12, 13, 14.
This issue of The Frontier is carry
ing a two page supplement telling of
this wonderful show, the famous town
that puts it on, and the West-river
country in general, and should be of
considerable interest to our readers,
whether or not they are planning to
attend the big show.
White River is a town of 500 people,
who are putting their town on the
map by making it one of the livest
towns in the great northwest. The
people who live there are not bothered
because they are twenty-seven miles
from the nearest railroad, but have
built good roads to three railroads,
the Milwaukee at Murdo, the North
western at Winner, and the North
western at Valentine, and when asked
about not having any railroad, say
the towns that have railroads do not
use them, and have bus and truck
lines.
Frontier Days is an old time roun
up depicting the days when the great
west-river country was one big pas
ture, open to all who wanted to use it.
That time has long since passed, and
that great empire, which really is
“great opportunity” is no longer a
range cattle country, but is rapidly
being changed into one of the richest
and most productive farming, dairy
ing, alfalfa and hog producing sec
tions of the great central northwest.
This year for the thirteenth time
this wide-awake town is putting on
its great show, which has become one
of the most widely known in the Unit
ed States, and draws its large crowds
from practically every state in the
Union. The White River show is the
oldest and biggest of its kind put on
east of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and com
pares favorably with both Cheyenne
and Pendleton, Oregon, shows.
W’hite River is in Mellette County,
which is a portion of the old Rosebud
, Indian reservation, where still thous
ands of Sioux Indians reside. The
Indian features usually are a large
part of the show, and attract con
siderable attention from the thous
I ands of tourists who annually visit
I the roundup.

LON CHANEY WON UNIQUE
PLACE AS CHARACTER STAR
Famous Actor Has Niche All His
Own in Film History.
“IN “HE WHO GETS SLAPPED"
"(he Hunchback” Becomes Tragic
* 'own In Y'ictoc Seastrom Picture.
Iii Victor Seastrom’s Metro-Gold
wyn picture. “He Who Gets Slapped,”
now playing at the Royal Theatre.
Sunday and Monday, O’Neill, Nebr.,
Lon Chaney, greatest of screen char
acter actors and make-up wizards,
plays one of the few sympathetic
roles of his career.
Chaney’s career in motion pictures
has been a most unusual one. He
began his theatrical career on the
stage of his home town, Colorado
Springs, Colorado, and from there
branched out into musical comedy,
vaudeville and, for a short-time, into
a circus career.
He began his screen work as a
slapstick comedian in a one-reel com
edy at Universal about 1912. That
company put him in stock, and he
played in a number of pictures, gen
erally as the “heavy.”
Then came his memorable part of
the cripple in “The Miracle Man.”
Here Chaney was given a chance to
display his remarkable talent for
make-up.
Immediately the parts began to
pour in. He has played in such pic
tures as “The Penalty,” “Blizzard,”
“The Night Rose,” “The Shock,”
“Treasure Island,” “Victory,” “False
Faces,” “His Children’s Children,”
“All the Brothers Were Valiant,”
and many others. His most recent
notable part was as the star of “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

HELLO, O’NEILL
125 Outaw Horses With a Rep
The horses used in the bucking contest at O’Neill have been gathered from the four corners of the Rosebud
and Pine Ridge reservation. They are real outlaws. They are the same horses that were used in the
Winner celebration. They will be used at Norfolk the last week in August, in the $15,000 Rodeo being staged
there and will also be used, in the National Legion convention which is to be staged at the Western League*
baU park during the National legion convention in October.
Not a Road Show
The people of O’Neill are fortunate in securing outlaw horses of this calibre for their rodeo. It was made?
possible owing to the management of the two big rodeos, decided to lay over and rest here for a few
days while enro ute trailing the chuck wagon across the country from the Rosebud reservation. A number
of the top riders are in charge of the wagon and will be joined in O’Neill by others who will conduct
the contest here.
