He will only say that there are many regions within the boundaries of our own state which are just as isolated as the scene of "Star\ Love", and that there is a world of material for similar expeditions. — o — Recalling my conversation with Brown brings me in mind of another I had this month with Ray Griffith about "Chang", a similar picture. I say similar because "Chang", though taken in Siam and containing many thrilling encounters with wild animals, is of the same general school, and employed native actors. Ray Griffith was propositioned by Lasky to accompany the makers of "Chang" to Africa where a new picture was to be shot. In case you haven't seen it, "Chang" told an intensely dramatic story of the struggle of a Siamese family against the menace of the jungle. Ray tells the following anecdote with one of his ironic smiles: "I was informed by an official of the company that they had decided to give the makers of 'Chang' a 'story1 to work with this time."

But she didn't like motion pictures — she hated New York and she would work only when she felt like it, which wasn't often. So she was released and returned home. The boy, Brown tells me, is in Auburn University now. The two Kentucky heavies returned to their homes and the rest of the cast sank back into the former monotonv of their existence. I also was keen to know what Brown would do next. The picture was his idea and I thought he'd have another bv now. But if he has, he doesn't want to reveal it as fadeout. Ray Griffith saw the uncut film and told me. The gallant nanny goat was finally downed and the buffalo proved an easy mark for the tiger.
