1939
Enter a free text date.
San Diego State students and others are at work on the abandoned Paramount Studios' Fort Zinderneuf set, where they filmed a parody of "Beau Geste." Identification is tentative, but the man with the camera on a tripod at right is almost certainly Sigma Lambda member Vernon Stiers, and next to him Nord Whited. The outhouses in the background were left by Paramount the previous March. (The exact location is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed.)
