“Lovers And Luggers”

TO begin work on a new Cinesound film, “Lovers and Luggers,” Captain Frank Hurley, the well-known Australian photographer, sailed from Sydney for Thursday Island by the Taiping during April.

The story, written by Gurney Slade, deals with pearling, and Captain Hurley has been detailed to obtain background scenes. Hurley’s first film success was a silent movie, “Pearls and Savages,” made in Papua some years ago.

Mr. Ken Hall, who will direct the new film, says that a prominent actor is being brought from Hollywood to play the lead ing part.
