DISNIY PRODUCTIONS
TO FILM ALASKA
WILDLIFE IN COLOR
This month Walt Disney pro- ,
duction* commence* color film- ;
ing Alaska wildlife for another
movie in the "True-Life Adven
ture" aerie* for releaae through
j out the United States and in for*
i vign countriea.
Herb and Lois Crisler, photo*
graphers of Disney's production
The Olympic Elk' and a pic- I
ture on Rocky Mountain big
horn sheep soon to be realcased
have been selected to do the job.
Kodiak bear, moose, mountain
sheep, wolves and polar bear are
among the species of Alaska ani
mals to be filmed, unposed and
undisturbed in their natural sur
roundings.
The Crislers arrived in Sew
ard on March 27 aboard the
Alaska Line Baranof and were
to begin their filming project im- j
mediately. The project is ex- j
pected to take from six to eight
months.
For transportation in Alaska
the Crislers have a panel truck
with them. Although Mrs. Cris
ler has never flown before, they
expect to count heavily on bush
pilots to carry them to remote
areas and they are prepared to
hike into otherwise inaccessible
places in search of their subjects.
Something for Nothing
A free showing for the Matan
uska Valley, of the film “True
Glory” will be offered by the
American Legion Post No. 15 of
Palmer on April 15 at the Valley
Theatre.
The picture was filmed in the
European Theater during World
War II and the scenes are of act
ual combat. Viewed by several
Legionaires. the film has been
pronounced “The best of it’s
kind” by men who were in the
European theater and are aware
of the then existing conditions.
The following fraternal and
civic organizations are co-spon
soring the film: Palmer Moose
Lodge, Kiwanis, Beta Sigma Phi,
B.P.O. Elks and the Chamber of
Commerce.
Use of the theatre and equip
ment is being donated by A1
Hagen. The film is being furnish
ed by the Army Reserve and
there will be no charge made by
anyone. No silver offerings—no
tickets to buy—in fact it really
is something for nothing.
