Pt. Moresby
From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, May 27.
THERE was a little excitement among the “talkie fans” at Port Moresby when it was realised that Douglas Fairbanks and Lady Ashley were passengers on the palatial yacht Caroline, which arrived in Pt. Moresby on May 24.
The Caroline called in for oil supplies, cream, and eggs, and sailed early the next morning, without any of the residents having the opportunity of seeing their beloved film hero in the flesh. The yacht is beautifully fitted out with every conceivable luxury, and was much admired as she sailed out of Pt. Moresby harbour on her way to Thursday Island.
Mrs. Johnson, mother of Mr. R. P.
Johnson, the popular manager of Messrs.
Burns, Philp and Co.’s branch at Faisi, Solomon Islands, arrived in the group by the Malaita recently to spend a few months with her son.
