Tahiti
From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, August 1.
MR. DWIGHT LONG, who won con siderable fame as a yachtsman, with his film production “Fighting Lady,” and with his travel book, “Round the World on a Shoestring,” has returned to Tahiti to complete his documentary film on life in Tahiti—which will include recent July 14 Celebrations.
The film is in technicolour and promises to be a success. There is a light love story woven into it, the stars being Mile. Adeline Tetahoumaui. and M. Paul Moe, both of whom are showing promise before the camera. M. Paul Moe, a veteran of the North African campaign, also acts as assistant and interpreter.
Other assistants are Mrs. Jeannette Shel ton and Mrs. C. Swenson.
The Governor will give Mr. Long every facility for the successful completion of the film. The documentary is being pro duced entirely by Mr. Long and the camera and equipment are the same that he used to make “Fighting Lady.”
A print will be presented to the Papeete Town Council as a mark of appreciation for the courtesy and help received by Mr.
Long.
