And now there's "The Hurricane." Samuel Goldwyn's film version of the novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, authors of "Mutiny on the Bounty." which is currently on the New Empire Theatre. Bombay and should make a star of John Hall.
Hall, a cinema unknown is being hailed as a "new Goldwyn discovery.'" In that category he joins an illustrious list of predecessors, who in their time, were "new Goldwyn discoveries"'. As the native hero. "Terangi," he has drawn one of the prize acting assignments of the year, a role that has all the natural markings of a star creator.
Goldwyn who could have had most any big name player he desired for this part, deliberately chose an unknown. He did it for two reasons. First of all, he considered Jon Hall an ideal "Terangi." The boy has a mag
nificent physique, is handsome and tests proved that he can act. He was born in Tahiti, has lived there much of his life, and is an expert swimmar. diver and surfboarder. He also knows the South Sea Island natives as one who has never lived among them never could.
The producer's second reason was the positive belief, born of his long and successful experience, that in "The Hurricane" ho has a star-building picture. The story, published serially in a national magazine and in book form, has been read by millions. It possesses all the elements of romance, drama and glamorous background which spell popular appeal and. topping all these, magnificent spectacle.
Goldwyn figured that by placing an established name player in the "Terangi" role, he would, of course, have a great picture.
By giving that part to an unknown he would still have a great picture and a new star. Needless to say, Jon Hall is under long term contract to Goldwyn.

"'I couldn't even stand the thought of putting on my bathing suit." she said. "I wanted clothes, pretty clothes and lots of them."
Then came the opportunity for her to play opposite Jon Hall as "Marama". and she snatched it, sarong and all.
"I couldn't pass up that chance." she said. "It's the sort cf opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. So here I am gone native again — and loving it."
The excitement and terror of the hurric.me at its heigh*, with Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall caught in the teeth of the big wind.
