ALASKA GOING INTO PICTURES FOR HOLLYWOOD Ford - MacBain Combina- tion Is Putting Alaska Over in Filmdom “Hot Fur,” the recent Corey Ford- | Alastair MacBain article in Colliers on the Alaska Game Commission and its short-handed but far-sight- ed and effective battle against fur smugglers and game law violators, is likely to be a movie, it was learned today. Ford and MacBain have given the movie rights to MGM, it is under- stood. The article, on the stands only a few weeks .ago, has already rought {a"flod” of letters to the Alaska Game Commission from young men ‘nn* eld .wha have been fired with an | urge to join the fight against tres- passers on posterity’s wild life haunts. | One woman became a Sourdough overnight when she read the article She isn't looking for a husband or a pot of gold or adventure, but she has a “fair figure,” and a desire to come North. Another Hollywood adventure into the Alaska background material is “Kodiak,” also from the Ford-Mac- Bain mill. This film, ready for shoot- ing, will find Clark Gable a reckless hero of the air and Alaska. Ford and MacBain, apparently are making money on their Alaska vacations of the past few years, but oddly enough, Hollywood to them is “prison,” and rainbow trout on the end of tapered leaders in the Newhalen River out to-the West- ward represent Nirvana.
