Interesting fact about the Photographer: It was with helping photograph the actors of Tarzan that Curtis took part in new opportunities and met new people.  He became a part of the Screenwriter’s Club and soon became friends with directors such as D.W. Griffiths and movies stars such as William S. Hart.  (from: Makepeace, Anne.  Edward S. Curtis Coming to Light.  Washington D.C.: National Geographic, 2002.  Print.)
