Flagstaff History: Movies and little theatres dominated the news

100 years ago

1925: The Lasky activities at Red Lake, incident to the filming of “Wild Horse Mesa� are attracting many visitors this week. Ike Smith was out there Tuesday helping round up horses into a canyon ready for the stampede scene. Wednesday there was an Indian celebration with chicken pulling and pony races. Some who were there were Mrs. Lee Doyle, Miss Kathryn Beckwith, Oliver Allsup, Miss Doris Crump, Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Bates, Earle Greene, Mr. and Mrs. Sweetman.

Editor Chris Etling takes you behind the scenes of just one example of how we look through archives for information used in the Flagstaff History column.



Susan Johnson has lived in Flagstaff for over 30 years and loves to delve into her adopted hometown’s past. She has written two books for the History Press, Haunted Flagstaff and Flagstaff’s Walkup Family Murders, and, with her son Nick, manages Freaky Foot Tours. You’ll find her hiking the trails with her corgi, Shimmer.

All events were taken from issues of the Arizona Daily Sun and its predecessors, the Coconino Weekly Sun and the Coconino Sun.
