AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Here comes a wistful little story of an Indian Maiden, beloved by both an English and a French Officer during the wars which ended in the British conquest of Canada, in the year 1763. The period and setting for this entirely original presentation is one of the most colorful in British history, and the theme, two gallant enemies fighting for the favor of a beautiful Cherokee girl, offers a wide scope for melodious and romantic treatment- Humor plays its part in the development of this story. Haunting melodies and rousing choruses, sparkling dialogue and exciting climaxes, combine to form a delightful fifty minutes of new and original entertainment.'
