MONTE BLUE’S EXCITING TIME AT TAHITI

SOUTH SEA ISLANDS FILM Monte Blue was at Tahiti recently with his company when the New Zealand mail-boat passed through. An American correspondent writes with reterence to the South Sea Islands trip: Adventures, cinematic and actual, befell Monte Blue on his location trip of five months. He appears as a Samoan chief in “Under Southern Skies,” heading a cast of natives. The expedition was sent by Metro-Goldw'yn-Maver last December. One of Blue’s unscheduled mishaps was to fall from a 70foot cliff at Hitia Falls. The star slipped and slid down a 30-foot incline, breaking his fall, at the expense of a wrenched arm by grabbing al shoots of brush. The declim ended at a ledg 40 feet up, ana when the brush gave way he plunged straight down through the air the final distance, but landed in the deep water of the falls and escaped injury.
