SECOND FEATURE.
The island of Bora Bora, in the Society island of the South Paeific, has^been termed a veritable paradise on earth by Fred'erick W. Murnau, the director-genius, who went there two years ago to make "Tabu," the romantic drama of that region, which opened last night at the Grand Theatre, with native Polynesians in the principal and supporting roles. The picture, as a Paramount release, reflects the primitive life and habits of the natives — a people who live there to-day as their forebears did for countless generations. A people of remarkable intelligence, Murnau called them. Intelligent, he said, because they took life as they found it, and had no desire for the "luxuri'es" of civilised races. ■ •
