LAS TURAS LAKE, Dec. Time has suddenly been turned back a hundred years or more at this beautiful little lake only a few hours from Hollywood. The entire lake is dotted with more than a hundred birch bark canoes filled with north woods trappers and Indians. The reason for the nineteenth century atmosphere is that an entire movie company has moved in to make some scenes for "Rose Marie." This spot is supposed to be in the Canadian north woods. And when the scenes taken here are shown on the screen, no one will ever be able to distinguish the difference.

The Big Canoe Race The big scene being shot here was a canoe race. That race be one of the high spots in the picture. It was a race among trappers re urning to the village--and a real village been built on the shores of the lake.

By the time the race was half finished many of the paddlers actually were trying to beat Murray. They became so excited that they paid absolutely no heed to the bugle. signals.

However, Murray, who had an expert canoeist paddling with him, managed to edge in a few feet ahead of the others. And it's a good thing he did--or the entire scene would have had to be shot over again.

I wanted to slow down a little and he content with finishing second or third. I still think that it would have been a smart move.
