SCREEN ADVENTURES.

'• FORTHCOMING EXPEDITION. Now that their work on " The Four Feathers," the adventure picture of the British Soudan, has been completed at the Paramount Studios, the two adventurous film makers, Merian Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, are contemplating another expedition. They intend to make a start within, the next few months, but as yet their destination is unknown. The place that they •will select, will be some inaccessible corner of the earth, where wild life may be filmed in its natural surroundings. But it must also serve as a background to a dramatic story. Cooper arid Schoedsack made their previous pictures in widely scattered regions. "Grass" was filmed in Persia; " Chang" in the depths of the Siamese jungle, and "The Four Feathers" in Tanganyika and the Red Hills of Africa. " The Four Feathers " was, however, their first picture in which a studio drama was worked into location scenes of wild life which they had taken. The cast of the production includes Richard Arlon, Miss Fay Wray, Clive Brook, William Powel and Noah Beery.
