 It happened that among the val uable souvenirs brought back by Thompson from one of his recent wis its to Alaska was a complete ward robe formerly belonging to a princess of the Si kOmaS tribe.

Lee Moran, screen median, will hereafter have vehicles worthy of his skill. Universal has ju3 made ar rangements with H. c. Witwer, one of Americas foremost hunorists, to supply Lee Moran with comedy stor- ies for screen production, paying the record price for short length fea- lures.

 Eva Novak, who plays the role of an Alaskan girl. is wearing these gar ments in the picture. They would be rather uncomfortable for wear in Southern California, even in mid took the entire company on location to the Yosemite. where the snow is some three feet deep, and also to Northern Canada, where several vital scenes are to be filmed.
 Miss Novak's blonde beauty is en- hanced by the picturesque costume of the north and she attracted more at the Yosemite than any of the much exploited scenic wonders of the na.- tonal park.
 Norman Dawn is not only direct ing Evolves of the North for Uni VerSal, but he wrote the story from a personal experience while visiting Alaska some years ago to obtain scenic mat erial for the screen.
