This article presents information on the films which showcases American natives and nature. In the motion picture like "The Silent Enemy" front which one does learn something about the life of a primitive tribe with the joys and sorrows, particularly sorrows, that are attendant on it. It is from "Grass" that "The Silent Enemy," like the British picture "Stampede," derives more directly, all three pictures illustrating the same idea and differing from one another no more than is required by the differing peculiarities of the tribes they describe and the territories in which the episodes take place. In the field of the talking picture, and of the screen revenue in particular, "King of Jazz," directed by John Murray Anderson, marks another step of progress.
