Ernest Haycox Story Will
Be Filmed In Color, Pendinq
Approval by Studio
A site near Diamond Lake has
been approved by tnree repre­
sentatives of Walter Wanger Pic­
tures, Inc., of Universal City, ac­
cording to information received
in Medford the past week. The
three, Henry b p i t z , F. O. Coliins
and f rank P h i l l i p s spent several
days here recently in inspecting
a site for the picture, “Canyon
Passage,” which recently ran as
a serial story in the Saturday
Evening Post, and which had as
its locale the Applegate country
and with most of the action tak­
ing place in Southern Oregon.
Producers of the story plan to
film the picture in technicolor
and to make it on a scale compar­
able with “Union Pacific” and
“Stage Coach,” also stories by
Haycox.
Approval of the site is now
pending in the offices of the
Walter Wanger Pictures before
work starts on the actual filming
of the picture.

Photographers for the Nation­

pected some time this month in
Southern Oregon to take pictures
of Crater Lake and other south­
ern Oregon attractions for an

to be published later in the year.
