The" other half of this twin bill is the opening chapter of James Fenimore Coop- er's "Last of the Mohicans," now in serial film form.

The cast includes such well known celebrities as Harry Carey, Edwina Booth, Hobart Bos- worth, Walter Miller, Junior Cogh- lan, Lucille Brown and Walter Mc- Grail.
