INIA TE WIATA IN SAMOA TO MAKE FILM The famous Maori singer Inia te Wiata is in Western Samoa at present acting the leading part in a British cinemascope colour film. Entitled ‘A Pattern of the Islands’, the film describes the adventures of a young government officer in the Gilbert Islands. The film is being made by an independent British company, Lawrie Productions. A large number of Samoan parts will be filmed, giving the local population another opportunity to win screen roles. An American company made the technicolour film ‘Return to Paradise’ in 1952 and a small Walt Disney unit is filming another picture about Samoa at the present time.— Wanganui Herald.
