BLACK EAGLE FALLS
INTO CLUTCHES OF FOX
Only an Indian Chief, Who
Signs With the Fox Film
Corporation
Dy the Photoplay Editor
Tho Indian hni succumbed to tho movlo
lure, for now tho noble Red Mnn Is a fea
turo player. Black Eagle, now nearly a
hundred years old, ono of tho oldest chiefs
of tho Mohawk tribe of Indlnns, will bo
seen In a forthcoming "Wllllnm Fox feature
picture now being produced under tho di
rection of Jamci Vincent. Black Englo
has been a remarkable character nil his
life, not only during tho tlmo when ho
donned warpaint nnd led tho members of
his trlbo against tho whlto settlors, but
after when he became a "good Indian. '
Ho acknowledged to having tho scalps
of eight of his victims, but not boast
fully, as ho did onco upon a time. Ills
most cherished possessions now are two
medals, ono given him by General Grant
In 1878, when ho was President of tho
United States, and another by Queen Vic
toria In 18S5 in recognition of his being
tlio best Indian actor to perform beforo
her.
Black Eaglo can read and write nnd Is,
moreover, a confirmed picture fnn. Ho
Is tremendously Interested In both the
acting nnd producing of pictures and
never leaves what ho calls tho magic box
only when ho Is actually working or when
tho camera man has taken It down after
the day's work. Even then ho is reluctant
to havo It go out of his Bight, fearful that
some harm will happen that will spoil tho
picture.
That Black Eagle Is temperamental Is
shown in the fact that, when signing a
contract with William Fox, he Insisted
on a clause being Inserted whereby at all
times, when ho was at work, his acting
would be accompanied by Indian music,
sung to the measured beat of the tom
tom. In this he displayed his business
sagacity, aa he created positions for his
two children, one who sings while the
other playa the Indian musical Instru
