Summary: | Movie Company Escapes From Idaho Wilderness. Movie Company Escapes From Idaho Wilderness LEWISTON, Idaho.—A motion picture company from Hollywood on location work in the wild Clearwater region of northern Idaho has returned to Sunny California with blood-curdling stories of hazards and dangers encountered in that terrible, arctic-cold wilderness. For months Dick Rosson, director, 35 technicians, George Breakstone and 14 actors filmed logging scenes in the forests for the forthcoming picture, "Come and Get It." One man died and six were injured during the sojourn in Idaho's snow- blocked forests. An influenza epidemic sent five members to the hospital. Camera and sound equipment worth $30,000 was lost. A motorboat capsized, tossing Rosson and a camera crew into the raging Clearwater river. Lumberjacks rescued them and eventually they reached California alive and without further mishaps, it is reported.
