Film Company Works On Uninhabited Island
TJUGGED, verdant Santa Cruz Island, 40 miles off the coast of Southern California, was selected by Milton H. Bren, producer for the Hal Roach studios, as the site for the shooting of the forthcoming film “Captain Fury.” The island, uninhabited save for caretakers, was to be the home of the “Captain Fury” company for six weeks. The picture deals with the pioneering of Australia in the middle of the nineteenth century, and Santa Cruz was the only studio location scouts could find which has terrain similar to Australia's. “Captain Fury” will star Brian Ahearne and the studio’s new feminine discovery, Francine Bordeaux. .
