A "Fake" Chill
Producing a film in’ Hollywood proved something that, on the face of it, sounds a wee bit incredible: we can contract just as wretched a "cold" from exposing ourselves to artificial snow as to the real thing! The blizzard in this case was made with corn flakes and plaster of Paris. It hurtled down through the summer-warm air of a Californian studio. Yetstars, extras and cameramen-all were smitten with severe " colds." The dust of such a storm proved just as irritating to the lungs, throat anc nasal passages as the smoke and soot of a London fog, the sharp gales of Wellington, or the cold and dampness of a Dunedin winter! We have omitted to remark on Auckland and Christchurch only for reasons of space!
