In the party will be Mr. Richard Boone, Mr. Finlay Cur rie. the associate producer (Mr. Robert Snody) and director (Mr. Lewis Milestone). Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation officials have to or ganise a close timetable so that ;he stars of the technicolor film 'Kangaroo*' arrived on time at a series of functions from 3.15 p.m., when they attend the Government House garden party, to 5 p.m., when they meet people associated with the film industry at the South Austra lian Hotel.

On Friday they will receive a civic wel come at the Town Hall from the Lord Mayor (Mr. Arthur Rymill) and they will attend a luncheon at Parliament House as the guests of the Premier.

On- Friday evening Miss O'Hara, with her maid, will settle into the house allotted to her from those under construc tion at Port Augusta. On the Saturday intensive re hearsals under Mr. Milestone will begin, and these will con tinue until apparatus for film ing arrives in a six-day road lift from Sydney. Sixty technicians and execu tives working on the '?Kan- garoo' film will fly to South Australia during the next week.
