The Trade Mark of Romance

THE END OF THE TRAIL
Races pass and leave the old, old story of strife and song. The Indian passes in this our time, within the Reservation gates; a figure as sinister as a bloody arrow, but filling the eye and the heart with his tragedy. "Adieu, Vanishing American, adieu - may you find the Happy Hunting Ground of your camp fire dreams."
This epic of the Indian has already been acclaimed by hundreds of audiences as ranking with The Covered Wagon in scope, power and human interest.
Here is a picture of enmity and gallantry and fierce love - making in the very shadow of danger. The vision of Paramount, Zane Grey, Director George B. Seitz and Supervisor Lucien Hubbard searched out and composed all this for you, the Paramount organization pursuing, as it always does, the ideal material for the greatest shows that human beings can desire.
Like stately ships magically appearing one after another on the horizon, and slowly coming in full view, came The Covered Wagon, The Ten Commandments, Peter Pan, The Pony Express, A Kiss for Cinderella, That Royle Girl, and now The Vanishing American, sailing the sea of more than one or two seasons' brief popularity, and even so being but leaders of a great fleet cruising literally to the admiration of all lands and peoples.
Wherever you find the name PARAMOUNT you've found The End of the Trail to the Greatest Show in Town.
"If it's a Paramount Picture it's the best show in town!"
