Fred Kohler In the roles Of the
Three Godfathers" OF Mr.. Kyne's
story.
Six weeks in desert country in the
height of summer was the portion OF
the Universal company filming
"Hell's Heroes" Universal deter
mined that the scenes shown should
be those actually described In the
story.
This meant taking the entire ON
pany into the Mojave Desert In the
heart OF summer. For six weeks
the camera followed the actors
through a land of intense desola-
ton, Of sun glare on wastes OF rock,
cactus and twisted Joshua trees.
For the most part the thermometer
stood at more than 100 degrees.
The Three Godfathers' probably
suffered most. The roles Of Charles
Bickford. Raymond Hatton and
Fred Kohler called for them to let
their boards grow. and TO wear
dirty, tattered clothes. When they
finally came out of the desert. a
trio OF scarecrows would have looked
respectable in comparison.

DR.. Sandifer urged that the forces

ISOLATION that a large delegation Of
its members headed by Charles
