This photograph shows the movie set on Moore's Beach (Natural Bridges State Park.) The Evening News reported:
"Fifteen or twenty South Sea natives, dressed in native garb, brightly hued, have been employed for the past two days in giving atmosphere to the village life. Hundreds of Santa Cruzans in automobiles and on foot have been attracted to the scene to watch the work of the company which is most interesting. Earl Metcalf and Myrtle Lind, leading man and leading lady, were shot in several "desert island" scenes yesterday."
Santa Cruz Evening News, February 17, 1923, p.10
