TFOX HILLS DEDICATED HIRTY THOUSAND visitors went through the gates of the Fox Hills Studio on Sunday afternoon, August 29, when the Moorish portals of the new $300,000 Spanish wall along the Santa Monica Boulevard front of the 1 50-acre studio were thrown open to the public.
The formal opening of the gates was set for 3 o'clock, but the first motor party arrived with a caravan of seven cars at 1 1 :30 and lined up before the gates to make certain of being the first to enter. Space for the parking of 2,000 machines had been arranged within the studio grounds, but following the arrival of the first seven cars a continuous stream of visitors came by motor and electric trains so that by 2 o'clock the entire parking space was filled and thousands of other machines formed a solid two-and-a-half mile parking line from the City of Beverly Hills to the City of Sawtelle.

N AUSTRALASIAN ENTERPRISE
EWSPAPERS just to hand feature with news-page prominence the first serious step in Australia's determination to compete in the world's film-producing market. "For the Term of His Natural Life" is the title of the first picture, for which our own Eva Novak signed the dotted line to a contract. Australasian Films, Ltd., are behind the latest endeavor. The story, by Marcus Clarke, has been wisely chosen. It has been translated into twelve languages, and in the country of its origin it will feed the box-office through a big public already sold to a story familiar in every home.
The studio is located at Bondi Junction, Sydney, where for many m.onths activities have been centered on the construction of the huge sets necessary for the filming. Technical experts in other branches v/ere also sought from America, as accompanying Miss Novak to Australia were Norman Dawn, director and producer; Len H. Roos, cameraman; William Reid, also camera; Katherina Dawn, to play special role; George Fisher, an English character actor to lead opposite Miss Novak, and Steve Murphy ("Broken-nose Murphy") to play the role of tough. Also trailing it across the Pacific with them were Miss Novak's mother, Mrs. Norman Dawn, and Mrs. Len Roos. The company hit Sydney on Saturday, August 7th, and Eva landed a reception and hospitality that should breed another good booster for the country that called her across to show 'em how.
Eva's car ran its way perilously through the streets thronged with crowds who turned out to say "How do," and "Welcome " to her smilin gacknowledgment. Stuart F. Doyle and W. A. Gibson, O.B.E., managing, directors of Australasian Films, Ltd., with other prominent personalities in the film industry kidnapped the public s idol and held her to a sumptous celebration at the Hotel Australia on the evening following her arrival.
