CATHEDRAL CANYON
QUIET DISTURBED Cathedral Canyon’s peaceful quiet was badly shattered when Tom Mix and his oufit made scenes for “Outlaws of Red River,” his latest Fox drama. The clatter of galloping hoofs and the report of rifles sounded like a turning back to the days of ’49. Cathedral Canyon, one of the sel-dom-visited spots in the rugged grandeur of California’s mountains, Was so named because of its topographical formation. Great towering walls of rock, tipped by slender spires of trees, rise toward the gleaming sunlight. A wide, almost rectangular space might be taken for the pews of a silent congregation that offers devotion to the flaming sun at dawn and the constant stars at night. A huge rock might serve as an altar, another scooped-out boulder might be a pulpit. All is silence one minute and then a burst of gunfire tears away the curtain upon which one’s imagination plays, to reveal the filming of an exciting scene. Cathedral Canyon now goes back to its tranquillity and the band led by Tom Mix wends its way back to Fox studios.
