Difficult Time
Making Picture
Africa, at least in its remote
parts along the equator, is just as
primitive, dangerous and exciting
as it was twenty years ago. de
clared M-G-M star Deborah Kerr,
on her return from a five-months
safari across the Dark Continent
•for the filming of the spectacular
drama, ‘ King Solomon's Mines,”
which is now showing at the Vic
car Theatre.
Before leaving Hollywood for
the adventurous trip which was
to cover 25.000 miles of Equator
ial Africa, the actress took a se
ries of inoculations for cholera,
yellow fever, typhus, smallpox,
typhoid and paratyphoid. She al
so viewed the picture, “Trader
Horn,” filmed in Africa two de
cades ago, and congratulated her
1 self at the thought that her loca
tion trip wouldn't be as hazardous
as the one on which the earlier
film was made.
Her congratulations proved to
be premature. "We saw a native
tribe almost go berserk in front
of our eyes, raining spears all
around us, .states Miss Kerr, in
recalling some of the high points
of the trip. “Our white hunters,
^who were always with us. killed
-~
I
i two rouge elephants that had
smashed a native village right
next to our camp. At Murchison
Falls we worked in the unbe
1 lieveable heat of 152 degrees! At
another point we had to carry
all our own equipment because
the tsetse fly was so bad that
horses or mules couldn't survive.
There were times when I wanted
to sit down and cry and felt that
I couldn't continue another min
ute. Somehow, we all managed
to keep going, but 1 can truth
fully say I wouldn't dream of
trying it again.”
The picture, showing here for'
the last time Wednesday night!
of this week, has attracted thou-1
sands in the large cities recently. |
Only last u'eek, it was held over j
several days at Lowe's in Norfolk.
'Rocketship XM'
'Out of the World'
Hollywood's films have finally
gone out of this world.
This fact has long been expected
both literally and figuratively, but
it remained for "Rocketship Ex
pedition Moon," new thrilling sa
i ga of five scientists and their]
flight into space abroad a huge]
rocketship, to make it an actulity.
It was considered a foregone
