The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
September, 1931
Ray Wise, Roy H. Klaffki and Ewing Scott all set for their expedition to the far north
Roy Klaffki and Ray Wise Are Safe
ROY H. KLAFFKI, first vice president of International Photographers, and Ray Wise, his assistant, accoi-ding to word received by Mrs. Klaffki August 18, were safe in Point Barrow, Alaska's northermost tip. Mr. Klaffki in his message expressed the hope the party would be home by September 20.
The two men have been out of reach of communication for more than five months. They left Hollywood February 25 with the Edward Small expedition headed by Ewing Scott. Their itinerary included Seward, Fairbanks and Cape Hope. The object of the expedition was to secure a photographic record of the daily life of the Eskimo with his dangers and his home surroundings. The party was especially fortunate in its personnel in that Ray Wise is a native Eskimo.
The last previous word received by Mrs. Klaffki from her husband was early in July when there reached her a letter from her husband under date of March 18.
The next news came when Scott wired Small that following the dangerous isolation of the party for a month at Icy Cape due to unprecedented ice conditions the members and their native helpers finally were sighted and rescued by a whaler.
Word from the expedition had been anxiously waited at the headquarters of International Photographers, there
being a fear that if a report were not soon received the party would be delayed another year.

Sound in France Reducing
Amount of Film Production
THE French censorship office examined the following quantities of films (in meters) during 1929 and 1930 and the first five months of 1931: 1929, 1,453,749 meters; 1930, 1,144.002 meters; 1931, 491,661 meters. The decline in imports is indicated by the following totals for the first five months of the three years in question: 1929, 725,171 meters; 1930, 571,582 meters, and 1931, 491,661 meters.
The French trade press explains this decline by the fact that talking films receive better exploitation and that their number is consequently smaller.
