Hal Phyfe, internationally known |camera artist, praised the photo- | graphic work.

The first, and most important is that the picture was photo- graphed entirely in the scenic wonderland of north-central Ari- zona, land of red wock clifis, purple mountains, azure sky and vast distances. Another, and more teachnical reason, is that Chief Cameraman George Schneiderman, latest 4n motion pNTure negative stook, & highly improved film know. as super-sensitive panchro- {matic, which brings color values to the screen.
