Practically everyone has
heard the expression, "Lo,
the poor Indian." It does
ik t mean "Behold the poor
Indian;'* Lo is the Indian's
name. The expression comes
from a celebrated story by
Bret Harts, called "In the
Carquinex Woods," in which
the central character is Lo
Dormante, a half breed In-
dian. Why Lo should be
pitied may now be seen on
the screen, for Triangle has
just made the novel into a
picture called "The Half-
Breed," with Douglas Fair-
banks as the star.
