In Search of Educational Films
One of the most adventurous motion
picture expeditions thus far conceiv-
ed. * is claimed, started July 10, when
a cameraman. representing the educa-
tional and industrial departments of
the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company, sailed on the steamship
Empress of Asia from Vancouver. B.
C., for Singapore.
This cameraman will tour the is
lands of Sumatra, Borneo. Java and
Malay peninsula, primarily in the in
terests of the rubber industry of
America, but while in the countries
visited he will shoot thousands of
feet of film devoted to the life and
customs of the people encountered.
Roswell J. Johnson, the man who
will make the trip. will make port
first at Hongkong. where he will be
compelled to wait two weeks before
catching steamer for Singapore.
Sumatra- The other islands to be Wis
tied are within short sailing distance
johnson is taking thousands of feet
of raw stock with which to photo
graph all details and operations of
the rubber industry. which is the main
occupation of the natives of the ter
ritory included in the tour. Practi-
cal1y every rubber plantation of i'm
portance will be visited, and the cam
era will register the growing and har-
vesting of every kind of raw rubber
produced.
feature of the trip is the fact
that johnson will be compelled to
traverse little known trails in his
Journeys from plantation to planta-
tion- The rubber-growing industry is
peculiar in that the largest and most
bountiful supplies are obtained from
trails cut through unexplored Jungle.
These trails branch OFF. usually, from
q cleared space. and extend for miles
oack INTO jungle country, in which,
after nightfall, wild animals prowl.
Just before entraining for VAN
