...Squaw and Pemmican Unite. David's pemmican is not a simple hunk of dried buffalo meat. It needs, for its perfection, to be compounded with thimbleberries, grasshoppers, elk marrow, pounded buffalo tongues, moose noses, beaver tails, fish fat, porcupine belly and otter blubber, not to speak of flies and maggots. Squaws, too, could be improved upon. But when Hero David meets a squaw whose bare bosom makes him think of a pair of "sun-darkened thimbleberries," the two passions of his career are united; he is a goner. To reassure critics of integration, Author Fisher takes pains to show...
While an Indian quintet wailed the rhythm, a squaw named Evening Star one afternoon last week led a new brave named Eagle Chief arm-in-arm through a dance in the Great Falls, Mont. airport lobby. Eagle Chief, off the reservation, is New York's Governor Averell Harriman; the shuffles and wails were convincing demonstration that Harriman had sloughed off his "not active" role to hit the campaign warpath with all its handshaking, speechmaking, political backslapping and Indian ceremonials...
Cinemogul Samuel Goldwyn, interviewed on the eve of his 73rd birthday, abandoned his famed malapropisms in favor of some straight-spoken reminiscences. Recalling how he had teamed up with Jesse Lasky and Cecil B.

After Director DeMille had inexpertly filmed The Squaw Mart (with Dustin Farnum and Winifred Kingston...
...commission from the Great Spirit and wins a couple of cavalry skirmishes, there were apparently not enough extras left to stage Custer's last stand at the Little Bighorn. So, curiously, the picture dispenses with most of it. Suzan Ball flutters her eyelids as Mature's squaw, and Ray Danton, Keith Larsen and Robert Warwick are equally improbable as a trio of braves...
...musicomedy Guys and Dolls. Cecil Blount DeMille, also 73, was producing and directing a supercolossal remake of his first (1923) The Ten Commandments. These two movies, bossed by two old experts, were the most expensive and most talked about in town, and both were a long-way from The Squaw Man, Hollywood's first feature length film, made by Goldwyn and DeMille 42 years ago, when DeMille practically discovered Hollywood singlehanded. They have helped shape the industry from the nickelodeon era to the television age and have seen the movies acquire audiences, income, longer running time, a tongue, color...
