Show SUB-SEA WONDERS THRILL CAST OF "BELOW THE SEA" With more than forty per cent of Columbia's "Below the Sea" photographed pho-tographed nearly 100 feet underneath under-neath the surface of the sea, Director Di-rector Albert Rogell had to assemble assem-ble the strangest cast ever to be used in filming of a motion picture. It is showing Sunday and Monday at the Alhambra Theatre. Playing one of the most important impor-tant roles in the photography, is a giant squiid, or octopus, captured after many weeks searching off the northern coast of Mexico. The octopus oc-topus was used in the cliimax of the story, showing the infuriated monster of the deep actually attacking at-tacking a diving bell in which are members of a scientific party studying study-ing certain phases of oceanography. In addition to the octopus, Rogell Ro-gell had to work with thousands of tropical fish, loaned to the studio for the purpose by the famous Long Beach aquarium. Camera work on "Below the Sea" was in charge of Homer Scott, whose underwater photographic experience ex-perience dates back to the days of the famous Annette Kellerman. More recently, he photographed marine scenes for "Bird of Paradise" Para-dise" and "Tiger Shark." Ralph Bellamy and Fay Wray are featured in "Below the Sea:" Others in the cast are Fredrik Vogeding and Esther Howard. Undersea scenes are photograped in technicolor. |
