#BACK TO GOD’S COUNTRY” T THE REX TOMORROW When “‘Back .to_ God’s Country" is qlown on: the screen of the Rex the- tre' Saturday it will represent the ‘accomplishment of a task of incred- 4ble magnitude.’ :Aside from the fact that {t :n a n!w: varsion of my. original story, 24 , &1 o );V:h'us **"which was pub- !ldies‘ in‘the ' Good Housekeeping slno'not long ago, it has the inction of having been made far- ‘''ther north than any other picture in the history- of the screen. All of m snow Scenes were taken on the ‘shore of Lesser Slave Lake, north 66th parallel. 2 Freguently the ztemnemlm-e ‘was y ‘degrees below agro and it was 8 cold as sixty degrees below. the gero mark. In this frigid tempera- i ture it was found necessary to draw all oil from the cameras before they eonld be operated. A matter of scientific interest is the fact that in this far northern lat- ftude, over 20,000 feet of film were shot without a single' foot of static This remarkable result was. achieved undoubtedly, because the two cam- eras in use were constantly left out , ot doors. ‘Probably no group of actors ever had a more interesting experience than those who were engaged in the making of the northern:scenes of the picture, 1 went ahead with David Harttord, the director, to pave the ‘way for the company, the arnival of .whi¢h was greeted with a number of dogs and sledges, which conveyed them from the line of rail into the ZIrozen arctic reglons. vercoming Obstacles. \."One oof the mgsl »#?narhbh achieyement in motioh pictures, 1 ‘believe, was accomplished when we ‘bullt a ghip;’one hundred and eighty l long, in: the ice of Lesser Slave e. This played the part of the froten-in whaler, Flying Moon. The ‘masts and-heavy-timbers: were hewn out of the forest, but all lumber and ‘other ‘material had to be brought by +dog sledge from the line of rail, miles way. Upon arrival, the members of the company fourd. themselves in the midst of‘a howling wilderness. On the three sides of them were froz- n forests. North and east were the barren lands on which they were to enact the scenes for “Back to God's ‘Country.” Between them and the retic ocean there was not a foot of railroad or :-nemement. i The ies. ‘W burned 'nlet and nli’;y fires to ‘keep out the intense cold. I pi up and down constantly among the' actors, watching their faces and warning them at the first sign of fro- sen ears or noses. In spite of this,] Aearcely a memher of the company ot away without a frozen ear, nose, or ,cheek. One member suffered a frozen foot. , Despite the fact that east membefd .were begged to take proper precau- /tions and minute care of themselves, Ronald Byron, the leading man, died soon after hjs arrival. The tragedy - mearly resulted in giving up the ven- ture. Grit and determination on the part ~of the cast saved the day. “HARRIET AND THE PIPER” AT THE REX ON SUNDAY - Anita Stewart, who says she «doesn't know exactly how many times she has been married on the { mereen, was quite delighted to go thru two wedding ceremonies for the Aeat time in her latest First National starring, vehicle, ‘“Harriet and the Piper,” 'which will be exhibited at the Rex theatre, beginning Sunday. The first of these cinema weddings was to Ward Crane ,who plays the part of a leader of the gay Bohemian Aife of Greenwich Village. It was a lawleas, free love ceremony, and of didn’t count. The second was Charles Richman, who plays the BEL CANTO QUINTETTE AT GRAND ON TUESDAY In the Grand theatre on . next Tuesday -afternoon and evening, the Northwestern Booking Bureau of St. Paul, will present the -Bel Canto Quintette, whose program is most ex- ceptional, not only because of the ability of the artists, but also for the unique arrangement of musical instruments. It is not often that the beautiful music of ‘the harp is heard, and still rarer is the combination of harp, 'cello_and flute. A dramatic soprano end impersonator, .complete this interesting group of entertuln- ers. 1da Hagen Pitman, a pupil of Os- car Seagle, is-gifted- with a4 voice of great range and deep ‘quality. Her aristic rendering of the old classics as ‘well as the sympathetic charm she imparts to the simpler songs, are squally enjoyable. ‘Shejhas her.own accompanist. - ’ Fern Van Bramer is a harpist of true worth. She inspires all with her solos, and accompanies the other musicians in a delightful manner. The rich low tones of the violincello never fail to touch the deeper emo- tions of Edna Lee's audience; while Vera Andrus sets free the delights of. the imagination with the more deli- cate music of ‘her flute. Hazel Bryn- gelson entrances her listeners with her realistic impersonatoins, and ‘by the sincere interpretive power she shows in drqmntlc and humorous readings. It is hoped. that the people of Be- midji will not mss the unusual op- portunity of hearing six real artists in so unusual and promising a pro- gram.
