ALASKAN FILM WILL BE MADE IN FAR-NORTH Every Feature Possible to Be Included in Big Production By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 21— An Alaskan picture to end Alas- kan pictures is the aim of Ewing Scott as he prepares to take a camera and microphone crew north this winter. The director's own story, ‘Rene- gades,” has been planned on such a scale as to include practically every dramatic element that the sometimes snowbound territory can yield, and part of the scheme is to de-bunk Alaska as it has been known to movie-goers since the first Arctic romance flickered on the screen. ¥ This aim, shared by Howard Estabrook who has done the re- search and adaptation, is but in- cidental, of course, to the drama, but airplanes will make it possible, they say. Five Months on Location Scott, no stranger to Alaska, made “Igloo” there with Mala as the star, and flew there for back- grounds for Lenore Ulrich’s talkie “Prozen Justice.” For “Renegades’ he plans to spend five months on location, ending with scenes in which the actors, including Gary Cooper and Sir Guy Standing, will be needed. “Getting there in January,” says Scott, “we’ll be able in five months S ands of worke to photograph every change of season. When we arrive, they will be having a couple of hours’ day- light around noon. “With our base at Fairbanks, it will be less than six hours' flying time to any point in Alaska. So we plan to cover a lot of territory. And we'll get scenes showing the fine agricultural products—straw- berries as big as your hand, for in- stance—as well as the expected frozen-north stuff.” Blowing Up the Baychimo For thrills they will catch the annual breaking up of the ice in the Yukon, fly over the Valley of 10,000 Smokes, and also destroy the abandoned trading ship Bay- chimo, which figured in the news some four years ago, and has heen ice-bound ever since. Blowing up the Baychimo, Scott thinks, would make a spectacular finish for any movie, and he has worked it into his plot. “And then—since no Alaskan film would be complete without one— we’'ll have a nice strong Eskimo sequence. After that, there’ll be nothing Alaskan that we'll have left out!” The director is taking cooks and foodstuffs from Seattle, and there HUNT FOR FOX | PROVES FATAL 1 ' WASHINGTON, Dec. 21— Mrs. {Mary Harriman Rumsey, Chairman of the NRA Consumers Advisory Board, socially prominent and a philanthropist, -died last night in ‘an emergency hospital as the re- sult of injuries suffered on Novem- ber 17 while fox hunting in Vir- ginia. - e CINNABAR MINES INTEREST PROSPECTORS AT WESTWARD With quicksilver commanding a 1price of nearly $1 a pound, interest jis being quickened in Alaska cin- nabar deposits, says the Seward Gateway, attention being particu- llarly drawn to the E.
