Goona-Goona (Independent) is the first cinema taken in the island of Bali in the Malay Archipelago. Producer André Roosevelt (distant cousin) and his son-in-law Armand Denis privately showed a first version three years ago in Manhattan. They have revised and cut it, added a new beginning. They still deserve credit as the discoverers of Bali, despite Charles Trego's lovelier Isle of Paradise (TIME, Sept. 12). Goona-Goona was shown at the French Colonial Exposition in Paris, rushed out of storage following the success of Isle of Paradise...

There is nothing...

Charles Tillyer Trego, who made The Isle of Paradise, first saw Bali when he was working in Cunard Line's advertising department, preparing advertisements for world" cruises. He went back with a camera, found it easy to bribe natives with rings, shirts, hardware, to perform. One mishap occurred: 15 Balinese, tipsy on mild wine and carrying a cremation tower, ran over him and his camera. His picture, the leisurely record of a six-month visit, is beautifully photographed and has the warm, informal authenticity that most travelogs lack. Good shot: a Balinese youth (Trego's valet, who refused...
