Papeete, Sept. 7.
Mrs. Gouveneur Morris, Wife
of the celebrated author, who owns a fine residence and plantation in the Paca district of Tahiti, returned from San Francisco on the “Makura" last month, bringing with her Mr. Irv ing Willat, the well-known cinema director.
During her stay here, which will be for two months only, Mrs. Morris and her associate will be engaged upon the production of a film intended to portray the various phases of present-day life among the native people. This picture, it is stated, is to be a mere preliminary to a much more important production to be commenced later in the year.
The party is at present in Moorea carrying out the initial part of the present programme.
