The Burning Brand

A two-reel offering which will come near reopening the old question of marriage between a white girl and an Indian. Some will say the story is impossible and unnecessary, but however that may be, it is certainly strongly presented. From the time the young soldier learns that he cannot marry the white girl he loves, because his mother was an Indian, there is a great deal of exciting action. He tears off his uniform and goes out into the desert to die. The Indians find him and recognize him as the son of Winona, by the cross mark on his forehead. He drills the Indians and encourages them to make warfare on the whites. He demands the girl as a token of surrender, but her father says he will kill her rather than give her up. In the end the half-breed is killed. A production of the intense, gripping kind. - The Moving Picture World, January 4, 1913
