Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 19, 1924, p. 2. Bloomington Boy On Movie Staff, Home From Africa Richard (Dick) Easton returned yesterday from Africa, where he spent three months on the technical staff of the Edwin Carewe Productions Co., which filmed a movie entitled "A Son of the Sahara." To get the proper setting the picture was made on the Sahara desert. Twenty actors and actresses, headed by Bert Lytell and Claire Windsor, took part in the production. The members of the company left New York November 14 and went to Tonggart, Africa, which is the end of the railroad into the Sahara desert. The picture was filmed near Tonggart. Five hundred Arabs and five hundred camels were used in the different scenes. The picture will first be shown at the Circle theatre, Indianapolis, on April 15, and it will come to Bloomington about that time. Mrs. Easton was accompanied by his sister, Mrs. Wallace Fox, who was formerly, Miss Cleo Easton. The Carewe Productions Company is a First National production. Mr. Easton will leave in a few days for Hollywood, California, where he will continue his services on the technical staff of that company. Constance T.
