The ory relates the adventures of tor whose plane crashes and on a glacier in Alaska whi empting to fly over the North and shows his experiences while making his way back to civili zation equipped only with a pocket- knife, and accompanied by two bear cubs. The third bear cub in the com- ) was brought along to act as a “dcuble” in the event that either of the slars became lost or injured, Many Scenes Shot About 60,000 feet of motion picture film was exposed by Director Nor- man Dawn and Property Man J. Loucks, who served as camera men, but the finished picture will be cut to about 8,000 or 10,000 feet, the length of the average feature picture. Sound effects will be “dubbed” into the picture in Los Angeles, and the beginning and end of tne featur: and all interior scenes will be “shot” on location in the Universal studios in California. The title for the pic- ture has not yet been decided upon. Menagerie Aboard The picture company spent several weeks in Fairbanks, a like period in Anchorage, one week at the McKin- ley National Park,- and about two months near Tustumena Lake in the Kenai Peninsula. As souvenirs of their Alaskan experiences, and also for possible “retakes,” the Universal company has a number of Alaskan wild animals with them aboard the ship, including three wolverines, two porcupines, two ravens, and a white fox from Bristol Bay, in addition to the three bear cubs from the States Porcupines In Scene The porcupines are reminiscent of & scene taken in the Fairbanks area for which 369 porcupines were gath- ered in a large enclosure. In anoth- er scene taken in Anchorage, in which the film story aviator, while in pursuit of a moose, is seen break- ing through tundra moss and fall- ing into an underground mink bur- row, 125 mink rented from an An- chorage fur farm were photographed together with Del Cambre and his two bear cub companions. Scenes taken in the Interior in- clude pictures of the musk-ox at the University of Alaska, the caribou migration in the Fairbanks district, moose at Tustumena lake, mountain sheep in McKinley Park, and many sequences involving porcupines, snow shoe rabbits, mink, and wolverines. A number of wolverines were deliv- ered alive to the Universal company as a result of advertisements, but all bt three of them died as a result of rough handling which, Del Cam- bre said, seems to be necessary in any sort of association with the beasts. Advertisements for live wolves failed to produge any live specimens, ~'Eficounters Grizzly In one of the scenes a mother grizzly bear and iwo'cubs were pho- tographed at a distance of less than one hundred feet at a time when none of the party happened to have a gun. “It wouldn’t have been so bad,” Del Cambre said, “but there weren't any trees, either.” Among the hardships attendant upon picture making in Alaska ex- perienced by the actors in the Uni- versal company was the fact thay the period os the story is during the Summer months and light clothing had to be worn by Del Cambre even times had to be removed from the scenes for tne same reason. Del Cam- bre is at present in possession of a fine, Juxuriant crop of whiskers, Which he will be forced to wear until the last interior scene has been pho- tographed in Los Angeles. The bear cubs from the States have their troubles, too, being forced to stay awake contrary to their natural in- clination to sleep through the cold winter months. ———-— SHOP IN JUNEAU! |as the result of an attack of the in the coldest weather.
