MORE LIGHTS ON
"ROCKING MOON”
Here are a few lines from an ar
ticle written by Nadia Lavrova pub
lished in the San Francisco Examiner.
The piece itself is too long to print
here, bat nevertheless it is a credit
to our town, because so many out
siders think this is such a cold and
miserable country that only the
stronger may survive. It follows in
part:
This is the story of a young mother
who journeyed from San Francisco
to the City of Silver Shadows to see
her novel projected on the screen.
She gave jaded Hollywood a thrill
that was not studio-miake. For Bar
rett Willoughby is the only author on
record who declared herself super
latively satisfied with the picturiza
tion of her book.
Before she left Miss Willoughby
was warned by friends, warned by
fellow authors, warned by magazine
articles and hearsay tales: ‘‘My dear,
you will not know your story when
yoti see it! First, they substitute
their own plot, then they invent a
new set of characters, and lastly they
change the title. The only thing
they leave the author is the royalty,
which explains why authors do not
commit murder oftener.”
Well, Barrett Willoughby is back.
On the table of her studio lie sev
eral dozens of “stil'ls” which she ex
hibits with enthusiasm.
“Oh, the thrill of seeing created
characters coctne to life on the
screen.”
And everybody marvels. For a

miracle has haippened.
An intense investigation of what
possibly co-uld have turned Holly
wood directors into human beings, if
only for a time, revealed these fur
ther sensations:
"Rocking Moon,” is an Alaskan mo
vie with not a single snow scene.
Nor any sleigh riding.
Nor a dance hall.
Nor a gambling scene.
Nor any lady even distantly relat
ed to “Muckluk Neg.”
Moreover it is the first film, in the
•memory of man, to be cut personal
ly by the director, to wit: George
Melford. And—strangest of all these
strange facts—it is the first Alaskan
story written by an Alaska and film
ed in Alaska on a farm where they
raise blub foxes, who came and help
ed members of the company to eat
their lunch.
Puzzle this out.
While you do we will talk to Bar
xett Willoughlby about ou-r scenario.
What?-'
You did not know we had one?
But yes! Rupert Hughes said re
cently that every man, woman and
•child in the United States were
Working upon a scenario. Barrett
Willoughlby is inclined to believe it;
so many people have asked her how
to get their stories on the screen.
•So wre begged her for a statement:
“LET ’EM MUTILATE!”
“I just wrote a story of the Alaska
that I know and love. No thought
was given to ‘movie angle,’ when a
well-known Hollywood company ac
quired the picture rights to my book,
I said to myself with a sigh: “Let
them mutilate it!’
“My first pleasant surprise came
when I heard that the entire com
pany had taken ship for Alaska. On
their way north, Lilian H ashman, the
star who plays my ‘Sasha/ came in
to see me unexpectedly. She was
the ‘Sasha’ of my dreams! I men
tioned, laughing and answer that
‘I am lucky-Irish luck, you know.’
Before I knew it the wirole company,
with the proverbial superstition of
artists, had taken me at my word.
And instances of my luck began pil
ing up, and piling up!’’
Rev. Thomas Philip Graham was a"
passenger on the steamer Starr this
morning for Days Harbor. Rev. Gra
ham is making the trip just to view
one of the industries of this district,
the Days Harbor sawmill. He will
return on the vessel in the morning.
