The Broken Trap

The opening scene shows that village of log huts that the Bison producer has used in one or two former pictures. The second scene is a well pictured tepee village; the third, a camp of white trappers. White Lily is then shown, as we have seen her before, in her canoe gathering wild eggs from among the lily pads. Miss Little takes this part very pleasingly. She falls in love with a white trapper, but he doesn't return her affection. Later, trouble arises between the white trappers and the Indians. White Lily brings word that they are dancing the war dance. The white men make a fighting retreat to the settlements, firing back at the Indians. White Lily is wounded; she is carried to the settlements, but dies. It makes a very commendable picture, exciting and human. The natural backgrounds are very pleasing. - The Moving Picture World, December 2, 1911
