The locales are different. The former told a definite love etory— a legend. The new film reveals a typical day in the lives of these simple, colorful, handsome, jelever. wealthy people of Bali, in the Dutch East Indies. Mr. Trego and his cameramen have obtained scenes in the rice Bulds, in the lagoons and at the loornn. They give us a cricket matchnot the British kind, but a fight between two crickets. They feature several impressive ceremonies, one in which temple dancers perform their weird danee; another a cremation, probably the costliest of all keremonies and the most profound. They spend thousands of dollars on the tremendous towers created the cremation. Thi* is the most important of the day's events, r\nd it isn't an everyday cccuranee either. The director was just ortunate enough to catih puth a ceremony during his six months in all. filming the pirtuie. Then there are bull races, kite flying games, fu.hing, weaving, [jewelry and pottery fashioning. And when these people aren't at irork, they know how to play, and how to go to market. of Paradise*' moves along in its hour's worth of celluloid lowly, gently, with rase.

Its future engagements are still undetermined. It's a lovely pictorial study, a camera narrative of the natives on the island of Ball, which Is just off the coast of Java. The Balinese. according to this piece, which was photographed— and very nicely too, I by Charles Trego — are a graceful, handsome and amiable people who [lead a tranquil and happy life devoted to fishing, sylmming. the [growing of rice and the making of costumes for a continuous series I of picturesque ceremonies. One is also shown a cremation, which appears to be the signal I for numerous side-show attractions, such as cricket fighting, bull | races, kite flying and exotic dancing. The Island is undeniably beauI tiful, and why shouldn't the natives be happy if all they have to do is I iish. swim, step out in colorful pageants and grow rice (with no inIdication that it's to be made into rice pudding)?
