MONROE
TOMORROW
Many Setbacks Delayed
Production of "MOana''

Production of almost every
noteworthy production in motion
picture history has been accom-.
panied by numerous obstacles, but
il Is probable that no director
ever had a more difficult time
than did Robert J. Flaherty while
making his idyll of the Samoan
race, "'Moana." This Paramount
picture will be shown at the Mon
roe Theatre tomorrow.
Mr.. FIaherty, whose Eskimo pic
ture, ''Nanook of the North" was
one Of the finest things ever done
in celluloid, spent twenty months
In Samoa with his wife, family of
three small children and brother.
Virtually all this time was filled
with heart breaking toll and dis
eoursgement.
Settling themselves on the
island of Sayaii, spot far from
the spelling touch of the white
man, they chose seven fine native
types to portray the life of typi-
cal Samoan family. Seeing the
spirit Of a vanishing people, they
attempted to preserve it in strip
Of film. But the picture Of their
dreams was not born without sore
travail.
After production had been
started, and almost a hundred
thousand feet of film exposed,
through some reaction in the de-
peloping, it was found worthless.
A tragedy similar to this occurred
once before to Flaherty about
twelve years ago. That was be-
fore he had produced "Nanook. .
1t was then that a cigarette burnt
what might have been his unborn
masterpiece of Eskimo life.
The gloom in the Samoan home
Of the Flahertys was thick indeed,
while trying to solve their South
Seas problem Of photography. AT.
ter having tried practically every
known method of filming and de.
veIoping, Flaherty as last re-
source, violated all formulas OF
the craft by using panchromatic
stock" shooting" directly against
the sun. The results proved re-
rnaFkahle and the problem, which
had threatened to turn them back
vanquished, was solved.
On the last day of Flaherty's
stay in Safune, another near
tragedy almost wrecked a labor
Of twenty long, hard months spent
under the hot tropical sun. The
family and their baggage, in a
small boat manned by native oars
men. we're on their way out be-
yond the reef, there to be trans
ferred to the island steamer. OF
3 sudden, from nowhere. in parti-
cular, came a huge wave which
almost succeeded in swapping the
craft as il passed over the reef.
The family, baggage, and all the
cases containing the precious film
were very nearly swept overheard.

work for more boxing matches IN the
future if this venture proves to be q
success.

Lundeen Resigns

Com. Charles Lundeen had been ]
contemplating resigning for some
time. He is a single man, and has
rented his fine farm in the Outlook
country for a series of years and was
desirous of leaving this section of the
country to devote his time to other
interests for most Of the time each
year, and as the office Of County
Commissioner interfered with his
plans and as he was out of the coun-
ty so much, he decided that he owed
it to himself and the people to re-
sign. Com. Lundeen wanted to re-
sign a year ago but he was persuad-
ed by his friends to remain in office,
and his friends very reluctantly
agreed to his resignation at this time,
realizing the difficulty in finding a
man to fill his place Charles Lun-
deem was a man in a thousand: cap
able, efficient, industries and hon
est, he made a splendid officer and

/ service.
When it became known that Lun-
deem was determined upon resign
ing, it become quite a problem in
/ Farmer-LabOr circles to select a man
in the Outlook-Soo territory to sue
ceed him for the two years left of
his term.

Of all the facts, sentiment formed in
favor of the appointment of DR.
