Island Youth Plans Movies Made in Hawaii Leslie Vincent of Hollywood has returned to the islands as the representative of an independent motion picture producing company in the islands. Leslie Vincent is the screen name of Vincent Fuilard-Leo. He is the son of the late L.

and Mrs. Fullard-Lco of Honolulu. He has had a successful screen career, his best known roles being in "Paris Underground" and "Forever Amber." The company has plans and a script to be "shot" in Hawaii in the near future. This production will be with an authentic Hawaiian theme and background and filmed in Technicolor. If.

as the producers expect, th" first film meets with success, the company is considering the making of one to two full length pictures a year in the islands and would require a studio, probably on Oahu. The company hopes eventually to make the project completely controlled and financed with island capital. Mr. Fullard-Loo says: "We realize the tremendous publicity value of anything connected with the word 'Hawaii' since it lias been publicized throughout the world by the pineapple interests, the sugar companies, the Chamber of Commerce. Arthur Godfrey and the present controversy over statehood.

tt tt 'In my recent motor trip across the continent there was hardly a large department store in any town that is not featuring 'things Society and charitable organizations are making Hawaii the theme of their parties and functions. tt tt "This publicity will play a most important part in increasing the obviously powerful box-office draw of such a group of pictures. "We hope to film stories woven around the true incidents of Hawaiian history, industries, natural customs and way of life in old as well as modern Hawaii and avoid the time worn cliches' of the super-duped colossalism of Hollywood. "We believe we can establish a profitable, interesting new industry for Hawaii which will further the interests of all Hawaii without Hollywood reaping the profits."
