 An extraordinary expedition was gathered together by Ryan for the ser ial. which was taken largely outdoors. As the company was to spend many weeks in the foothills and mountains : extensive camping equipment was gathered together and the caravan started.
 Whenever Ryan saw a location that struck him because of it's picturesque ness or its adaptability to the require ments of the plot, he called a halt, and the scene was rehear>ed carefully, then filmed. Living this primitive. nomadic existence, tho company travelled hun dreds of miles.

The Interesting exhibition or. the Pr1ntmakers Of Los Angeles now hang Ing in the Miller Sterling gallery at Az North Central avenue is attracting daily the attention of the public. The collection is broader in scope than for merly, showing nice views of foreign landscape and architecture, with por- trait etchings of various types. The prints of the Los Angeles members bring familiar subjects with new va riety and charm, and Harriet Nor ton Holmes, a Phoenician member, is again a welcome exhibitor with two of her well drawn etchings of Indian life.
 Among the new exhibitors are E. L.. Lawrenson and George Marples, whose prints are marked for beauty and strength. In Waterloo Bridge" Law renson has reproduced the bridge spanning the river, a lone boatman emerging from the dawn colored fog. shipping lying at dock behind the bridge, a picture full of delicate sug-
