Brave Swift Eagle's Peril (1911) User Reviews

The battle scene is so plainly laid out, so as to show all the smoke

[deickemeyer · 5 February 2016]

Swift Eagle is a Sioux of that village of tepees we have become acquainted with of late in Bison stories and in the first scene Bright Feather, a Cheyenne maiden, helps him to escape from the Cheyenne village. He, according to this story, is romantic (Parkman said that no Indian ever was) and to protect Bright Feather from the unwelcome attentions of one of her own tribe he puts himself again in peril. It is Bright Feather who then rides to the Sioux village and brings help and she and Swift Eagle are married. The battle scene between the men of the two tribes is so plainly laid out, so as to show all the smoke, that it is lacking in interest even. - The Moving Picture World, June 10, 1911
