tt from Art Rosson, director, and the
members of the American motion pic
ture company which went to Tahiti in
the South Seas to film "The .Fire
Bride,” the picture of romance, ad
venture and mystery which is coming
(to the Oollseium Theater tonight and

The story called for a scene in a
be-rritic tropical storm, and the assist
ants were preparing to unlimber the
“wind machine,” whHch furnishes
galea for most of the movies, when a
real tornado sprang up. Before she.
ter could be sought, t'no actors and
'director were caught in the hurricane
and swept off their feet, whl.r- trees
*t re uprooted nearby. Only the cam
eralism, John W. Boyle, who hap
pened to be in a natural sh tor of
'ochs, escaped, and he went on grind
ing until the storm blew ever, as
suddenly as it 'had come.
) The result was some spectacular
#cen«» as thrilling a* anything ever
shown on- the screen. Ruth Keneck,
Edward Hearn, Fred Stant a and
Walt Whitman were the pliy^'s im
perilled so unexpectedly. Incidental
ly, a fair-sized schooner which ti e
company was using for the picture,
was wrecked on the share by the
storm

Mexicans made up one of the thrill
ing scenes In the picture at the Span
I isli ranch hoijse.
A big feature of this sequence was
an old-fashioned Spanish barbecue.
Per this a group of Mexican barbecue
experts were hired by Sam Wood,
fhe director, to cook the moat. Huge
I quarters of beef were wrapped in
burlap, put on tho grill, covered with
dirt and roasted. When tho meat
was cooked It was placed on large
pancakes of Tortillo, Mexican hard
j broad, to lx- eaten. After the scones
! wore filmed, everybody had a regu
lar foast. Local newspaper repre
sentatives attended Iho barbecue,

the annals of film novelties and the
newspaper people, like actors, had
excellent appetites.

NOTED SINGER
OF NORTH DIES
ON THE COAST
Madam Lloyd, Former Opera
Star Passes Away—Sang
in Dawson and Alaska.
(Dawson News.)
Madam Pearl Lloyd, one of the
most talented singers over in the
North, died in San Francisco Decem
ber 17. .She will be remembered by
all old-tlmo Dawson1 tea. Madam
Lloyd was in Dawson in the height of
the excitement following the gold
strike, and spent several seasons
here. 'She appeared Irore many times
in professional engagements, and as
sisted in many other entertainments
‘Prior to coming North sha had had
an extensive experience as a singer
(in grand opera, and possessed a
beautiful soprano voice, with which
she had won public plaudits as a
vocalist in several continents. Per
haps no other singer of such wiide
expedience and such range and beau
ty of voice ever sang in Dawson. Her
rendition of many a difficult aria
from the m'oire famous classic open*
revealed in Dawson on many occa
sions her remarkable talent. She
also sang in Fairbanks, Nome and
other inonthern centers, and event
ually returned to the Pacific Coast
and made her 'homo in San Francisco
until her death. During her sojourn
In Dawson -she became acquainted
with and later mar.fed Captain Wil
liam Bledsoe, one of the best known
early-day pilots of the old Alaska
Commercial Company and the North
ern Navigation Company’s packets on
Ithe lower irlveK After the wedding
the singer, however, conl'niiei to
be known to many as Madam Lloyd
as well as Madam Bledsoe. A copy
of the San Francisco Chronicle re
ceived tin -the last mail refers to hot
death as follows:
“That her ashes be scattered or
the Pacific Ocean, which she had
many times crossed, Was the last re
quest of .Madam Pearl Lloyd, ulsc

Views at Variance
The views of Governor Rone, as
I outlined in bis message yesterday,
| are widely at variance with those
\ publicly expressed by ithe Delegate, j
The Governor said yesterday among!
| other things:
I “Under a system of reservation and
! regulation by zone, the Government
: * * * is now undertaking, for the
I first tllme in the history of these
! fisheries, to compel conservation.” j
At tbo same time ho was making'
this statement, press dispatches worp'
received crediting Delegate Suther-]
land with referring to the reservation!
system as a "grab” by which Al-1
askan fisheries had been turned!
“over to the Chicago and San Fran-1
disco fish trust," by the Bureau of
Fisheries of the Department of Com
merce, the very governmental agency
which Governor Bone asflertod Is “at
tempting for tlie first time to com
pel conservation ”
Delegate to Present Views
It was indicated 'by yesterday's
pres.3 dispatches to The Empire
fcfcait the Delegarto Is on route here
to bring up the fisheries question be
foro the Territorial legislature. Lit
j tie surprise was expressed among
j members of the 1 ,<-gistature when thia
information was published. The
opinion was also expressed that,
while the subject might be taken
up in one or both branches before
the Delegate arrived, no final action
jin the matter was likely before he
I reached here.
Higher Taxes Talked
Although tho presont fisheries
taxes produce most of the Territory’s
i revenues under existing schedules,
jtliere is strong Indieatiorfb that an
(effort Will be made to increase cer
l tain of th -se schedules in fisheries
products. Only once during the de
livery of his message was the Gover-j
nor interrupted, and that came from
a ripple of applause which greeted
j his declaration that "As canneries
■profit by this work (that of the Al
; a ska Fish Commission), an increased
tax upon their product*-and upon non
j resident fishermen Is manifestly war
ranted.” The applause greeting this
was not tumultuous nor of long dura
i tjon, hut it was made conspicuous by
I the circumstances.
Britt Bill Recalled
t! Memlbsra of Ithe present Legisla
ture who also served In the session
tJ of 1921 recalled that the Senate of
■ 1921 went deeply into the question of
enactment of a fisheries code. It
finally adopted the so-called Britt
bill after several weeks of study.
This was comprehensive In scope,
l containing regulations for a dmin is
. tering tho fishercs and thetr protec
tion. It. was designed for passage
■! by the Legislature as a resolution to
l| he submitted to Congress for enact
j ment into law. The measure was
held up in the House committee and
