The Rotary Balita no. 747 (June 10, 1954)

Edward Arnold and Jim Backus, two outstanding actors, have signed for leading roles in a motion picture that will dramatize the story of Rotary International. Titled, "The Great Adventure," this film will be one of the outstanding features of the Golden Anniversary celebration. The supporting cast features, among others, Scandinavian, Scottish, Indian, Japanese, Australian, Brazilian and North American characters. The 16 mm., black and white sound movie will be produced in three languages — English, French, and Spanish. Running time for the movie will be limited to 27 minutes, making it ideal for public showing on television and in motion picture theaters. Current plans call for each district governor to receive one copy well in advance of the opening of the Golden Anniversary celebration, although the film is not to be shown prior to 23 February, 1955, the opening date for the Golden Anniversary celebration, and copies will not be available much in advance of that date.
