Abstract

"Indian Fiesta Huge Success"
May 29, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

Palm Springs, California with its Indian reservation is a hundred and twenty miles away from Hollywood, on a road through the mountains. A full moon deepens the folds, in the hills, the palm shadows. But from here one can see the beacon light that is flashed at Hollywood premieres. At the edge of the canyon, the crowd stands looking across the gorge, across the heavy stream. Their faces are lit blue and orange. The moon is unimportant, for five terrific spotlights are turned on the clearing, seen in miniature very far below. They were dancing a hoop-dance under the lights, stepping through the wooden ring, left foot, right foot, swinging it over the head and down in a cylinder around the body.
