Much has happened to Maurice Sterne since the barroom brawl of 1895: He studied under the late great Thomas Eakins. Lived and painted in Germany, France, Italy, Egypt, India. Spent two years in Bali 20 years ago (and produced the best paintings yet to appear from that overpainted paradise). Married and divorced the late D. H. Lawrence's friend Mabel Dodge. Made an artist of importance of his lawyer, banker, publisher friend Edward Bruce. Became the unofficial lord of the little Italian hilltown of Anticoli. In Anticoli he lives in a 48-room castle, spends most of his time...
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.

Goona-Goona was shown at the French Colonial Exposition in Paris, rushed out of storage following the success of Isle of Paradise...

Reporter Hickman Powell wrote a book, The Last Paradise, about Bali; Caricaturist Miguel Covarrubias last year exhibited his Balinese paintings; Balinese musicians astonished Paris two years ago. The Isle of Paradise, first feature-length cinema on the subject, will multiply the already large number of people who long to go to Bali. It shows a Balinese day from sunrise to sunset. 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...
