Ikua Purdy in the movies, 1908.

IKUA PURDY SHOWN IN MOVIES.

Because the Hawaiian boy Ikua Purdy became champion at the steer roping held at Cheyenne, Wyoming, his picture is being shown in America in movie theaters, and from what is being said, the images of that champion of the world being shown are truly fine and beautiful, as if it actually is him chasing and roping the steer.

In one of the scenes showing the parading of the steer-roping cowboys, the Hawaiian boys are the finest as they don lei about their necks; and these movies are becoming highly acclaimed in lands outside Hawaii.
